Amanda will make $75, if she watches them for seven hours

How to find the prediction

The equation graphed is written in the slope intercept form s below

y = mx + c

where

m = slope

x = intercept

The slope, m is calculated using the points on the graph (1, 15) and (3, 35)

m = (y₀ - y₁) / (x₀ - x₁)

m = (15 - 35) / (1 - 3)

m = (-20) / (-2)

m = 10

c = y intercept, from the graph

c = 5

The equation of the line is y = 10x + 5

For x = 7

y = 10 (7) + 5

y = 75
