The function which represents the given model is a linear function.

Assume y to be the total amount of money after a given number of months, and x to be the initial amount. The money increases $10 per month.

y = x + 10 will represent this function. Plotting this function will result in a straight line.

CHECK:

If x = 0, then y = 10 (first/initial month)

If x = 1, then y = 20 (second month)

If x - 2, then y = 30 (third month)
