Question

The amount that Ronnie earns, E, in terms of the number of hours that he works, h, is shown in the graph below.

What is the constant of proportionality,
E/H, for this situation?
+/-
.

Answer 1

Pay Rate = Constant of Proportionality = E/h

Explanation:

Recall this formula: Total Pay = (Hourly Pay Rate)*(Number of Hours Worked)

Apparently there was a graph associated with this problem; it's up to you to share all instructions and other info that comes with your question.

Rewriting Total Pay = (Hourly Pay Rate)*(Number of Hours Worked), using E for total earnings and h for the number of hours worked, we get:

E = (Hourly Pay Rate)*h

The relevant constant of proportionality is found by dividing E by h:

Pay Rate = Constant of Proportionality = E/h
