What is k ? (k = y/x)
If y is dollars earned and x is hours worked,
k = y/x
k = 150 dollars /20 hours
k = 7.50 dollars per hour
What is the equation for the direct variation situation? (y = kx)
y = kx
y = (7.50)(60)
y = 450
How much will she earn for working 60 hours?
y = $450
She will earn $450 after working for 60 hours.
