Answer:

First a question. Are you looking for the two equations? Are you looking for the better value? Not sure what you’re looking for.

Explanation:

The two equations are linear, so you will use y = mx + b. For the first scenario, the 50 is your y intercept or b, and the 15 per hour is your slope,or the m, so the first equation is y = 15x + 50. For the second option b, the flat rate or y intercept is 85 and the slope is 10, so the equation is y = 10x + 85. Let me know what the question is and I can answer more specifically.
