A car company offers financing to its customers. For the newest model, customers can pay $2000 down and then $250 a month. Write an equation for this situation. What does the independent variable represent? What does the dependent variable represent?
A. y = 250x + 2000; the independent variable, x, represents the amount of money paid on the car and the dependent variable, y, represents the number of months after buying the car.
B. y = 2000x + 250; the independent variable, x, represents the amount of money paid on the car and the dependent variable, y, represents the number of months after buying the car.
C. y = 250x + 2000; the independent variable, x, represents the number of months after buying the car and the dependent variable, y, represents the amount of money paid on the car.
D. y = 2000x + 250; the independent variable, x, represents the number of months after buying the car and the dependent variable, y, represents the amount of money paid on the car.
