Answer:

Explanation

In this problem, the question asks us for 3 parts

a) the predicted hourly pay rate for a cashier who doesn't have any experience.
In this problem, the scatterplot was reduced into a linear function modeled by the equation y=0.94x+7.86 where y is the pay in $ per hour and x is years of experience indicating pay is dependent on the independent factor of years of experience. 0 years when plugged into the equation yields this through substitution. 0.94(0)+7.86=7.86$ which is the y-intercept

b)this is simply substitution as one can plug in 7 as x 0.94(7)+7.86=14.44$ or appx. 14$

c) for this problem it asks us the predicted difference in the hourly pay rate however the equation y=0.94x+7.86 tells us for every x year pay goes up an average of 0.94$, therefore, the increase is 0.94$.

Overall, this problem challenges the student's understanding of linear equations and the meaning of x and y in relation to one another in a graph.
