Question

Got answer wrong can u guys tell me what's the answer and why??

Answer 1

the correct answer is y=12x+8

Explanation:

this is because 12 is the hourly rate that you multiply by x (hours worked)

the $8 to edge the sidewalks is a flat fee that is only paid once and is not dependent on x (hours worked)

Answer 2

The rate is $12 an hour, this is your slope plus $8 and your y- intercept. So by the slope intercept formula:


`y = mx + b`
where m is your slope and b the y - intercept we have:


`y = 12x + 8`
