  • He earns per hour=10

Let hours be x

  • He earns in 1 h=10x=10(1)=10
  • He earns in 2h=10(2)=20

Hence the expression is


\\ \sf\longmapsto y=10x

Answer:

  • y = 10x

Explanation:

  • Number of hours worked = x
  • Total earning = y
  • Earning per hour = $10

The proportional relationship formula for this situation is:

  • y = 10x

We just substituted k with 10 to represent hourly earning.
