Question

The amount y (in dollars) that you earn by working x hours is represented by the equation y = 9x. A) What is the slope? B) What does the slope mean? Interpret! C) How much money would you make if you worked 40 hours?

Answer 1

360 dollars

Explanation:

Equation;

y = 9x

A) What is the slope?

The slope in an equation is the coefficient of the x variable. In this question, the slope is 9.

B) What does the slope mean? Interpret!

The slope shows the relationship between the x and y values.

This means that for every single unit change of x, y changes by 9 times.

C) How much money would you make if you worked 40 hours?

x = working hours

y = Amount

y = 9 (40) = 360 dollars
