Question

If y represents total earnings in dollars and x represents hours worked, then the equation that corresponds to the earnings of someone who makes $10.25 an hour is _____.

Answer 1

Y=10.25x try something harder

Answer 2

`y=10.25x`

Explanation:

Let

x-----> represents hours worked

y----> represents total earnings in dollars

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

`y=10.25x`

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y/x=k` or
`y=kx`

therefore

In this problem we have a linear direct variation

The constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

`k=m=10.25\ (\$)/(hour)`
