order to determine the rate of change of the given function, use the following formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are any two points of the line.

Use, for example:

(x1,y1) = (0,250)

(x2,y2) = (20,500)

replace the previous values of the coordinates into the expression for m:

m = (500 - 250)/(20 - 0)

m = 250/20

m = 12.5

Hence, the correctstament is:

C. After her raise, Natasha makes $12.50 an hour.
