The game gives each player an initial amount of $5,000 in virtual money.

Hence, the constant amount given to a player is $5000

[tex]c=5000[/tex]

After that, a player gets $500 in virtual money for each race won.

Therefore, the slope is $500.

[tex]m(\text{slope)}=500[/tex]

Let 'x' represents the number of races won.

Let 'y' represent the amount of virtual money a player has in terms of the number of races won.

The formula for the general function is,

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

Let us substitute the values of m and c in order to obtain the function.

[tex]y=500x+5000[/tex]

Where,

x is the independent quantity and

y is the dependent quantity.

Hence, the function is

[tex]y=500x+5000[/tex]
