Question

Nichole gets paid $13 and hour washing cars.

A) create an equation that models nicholes pay where x is the number of hours and y is the pay.
B) What is the slope? what is the intercept of the equation?

Answer 1

A) y = 13x

B) Slope is 13, intercept is 0

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = 13x

The slope is 13

The y intercept is 0

Explanation:

Since he gets $13 per hour, his pay can be represented by 13x, as x is the number of hours.

To create the equation, set this equal to y, as it represents his total pay.

So, the equation is y = 13x.

Using the equation y = mx + b, we can find the slope (m) and the y intercept (b)

Since this equation has 13 as the coefficient, the slope is 13. There is also no b value since nothing is being added to 13x, so the y intercept is 0.
