Answer:$6.25

Step-by-step explanation:we have that

x------------------> represent the number of hours Steven babysits

y----------------- > represent the amount he charges

for x=6 hours

y=$37.50 ----------------> y/x=37.5/6=6.25

for x=8 hours

y=$50---------------------> y/x=50/8=6.25

therefore

y=6.25x
