Question

Answer too a and b plz don't understand at all

Answer 1

Greetings!

Arrange the equation in slope y-intercept form to calculate the rate of change (hourly rate):

`y=mx+b`

Isolate for y:

`45x-3y=-30`

Add -45x to both sides:

`(45x-3y)+(-45x)=(-30)+(-45x)`


`-3y=-45x-30`

Divide both sides by -3:

`(-3y)/(-3)= (-45x-30)/(-3)`

The Equation Is:

`\boxed{y=15x+10}`

The Hourly Rate (Represented by the slope) is: $15
The Signing Bonus (Represented by the y-intercept) is: $10

The Graph for this Equation is attached below:

I hope this helped!
