Randy charges his tenants $400 each month to rent his houses plus $600 security deposit. In the new year, the property taxes increased on the area where he rents so as a result he must increase the rate of change by $25 to ensure his profits are not harmed. What equation best represents how much his tenants will now have to pay?

• y = 425x + 600

• y = 425 + 600x

• y = 400x + 625

• y = 400 + 625x
