If you have ₹800 and you save ₹250 every month, find the amount you have after (i) 6 months (ii) 2 years. Express this as a linear pattern.

(i)
Answer

₹2300

(ii)
Answer

₹6800

Explanation

The initial amount of ₹800 serves as the constant term (y-intercept), while the monthly saving of ₹250 is the constant difference between consecutive terms. Because the amount increases by a fixed number (₹250) over equal intervals (each month), it represents linear growth. The relationship is expressed in the form y = ax + b, where 'a' is the rate of increase and 'b' is the initial value.
