Question

Steven earns extra money babysitting. He charges $34.50 for 6 hours and $46.00 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.

Answer 1

y = 5.25x + 4

Explanation:

(hours, money)

(6, 34.50)

(8, 46.00)

Slope: change in y/change in x

11.5/2

5.25

Y - intercept: b

46 = 5.25(8) + b

46 = 42 + b

4 = b
