Income column:  $0; $5,000; $10,000, $15,000; $20,000. Saving column: $-500; 0; $500; $1,000; $1,500.  Slope = 0.1 (= $1,000 - $500)/($15,000 - $10,000). Vertical intercept = $-500. The slope illustrates the amount saving will rise for every $1 rise in income; the intercept illustrates the amount of saving occurring whereas income is zero. Equation: S = $-500 + 0.1Y (where S is saving and Y is income). Saving is $750 at the $12,500 income level.
