Given:

Rosa's earnings per hour = $12.25

Let's write an equation that shows Rose's earnings, e, in dollars, for h hours of work.

Let e represent the total earnings

Let h represent the number of hours Rose worked.

Take the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the rate of change(earning per hour) and b is the y-intercept(number of hours).

To write the equation, we have:

Substitute e for y

Substitute 12.25 for m

Substitute h for x

Substitute 0 for b

Thus, we have:

e = 12.25h + 0

e = 12.25h

Therefore, the equation that show's Rosa's earnings in dollars for h hours of work is:

e = 12.25h

ANSWER:

e = 12.25h
