Question

John began his job making $125 the first week. After that he ws paid $6.25 per hour. Write the equation in slope intercept form to represent the situation.

Answer 1

a) y= 0.05x + 16

b) y= 6.25x + 125

c) y= 2x + 10

d) y= 3x + 5

Answer: B) y = 6.25x + 125

Answer 2

y=6.25x+125

Explanation:

Given that,

John began his job making $125 the first week. After that he was paid $6.25 per hour.

Here $125 is fixed and $6.25 increase per hour. It means we can write the equation as follows :

y = 125 + 6.25 x

The general equation for the slope-intercept form is given by :

y = mx+x

m is slope

So, the equation in slope intercept form is given by :

y=6.25x+125

Hence, this is the required solution.
