Answer 1

Explanation:

When Miranda works 5 hours instead of 4, her pay goes up by

$56.00 - 44.80 = $11.20

That is, Miranda is paid $11.20 for each hour she works.

The slope of Tyler's graph indicates he is paid $9.00 for each hour he works. Miranda's pay per hour is $11.20 - 9.00 = $2.20 more than Tyler's.
