Question

Steven earns extra money babysitting. He charges $35.00 for 4 hours and $70.00 for 8

hours.
Enter an equation to represent the relationship. Let x represent the number of hours
Steven babysits and y represent the amount he charges.
The equation is y =

Answer 1

y= 35x/4

Explanation:

We can solve this by plotting a graph of these values of (4,35) and (8,70). We find that this graph is a straight line. Meaning we can solve it in the form Y = mx, where m is the gradient. there is no y intercept as our range is greater than x =0. So the gradient will be 70-35/8-4, which is 35/4. Simply substitute it into the formula to obtain y= 35x/4!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

35/4 = 8.75

70/8 = 8.75

x= 1 (hour) y = 8.75$
