Answer 1

By defining a linear equation for the payment as a function of the number of hours, we will see that the correct option is D:

"The researcher works 7 hours to earn $75.25"

What does the point mean?

Here we have the following information:

A research assistant is paid $10.75 an hour to assist with data collection.

So, if she works for x hours, then her payment is modeled by the linear equation:

p(x) =$10.75*x

Now we want to see what is the meaning of the point (7, 75.25)

If we evaluate the linear equation in x = 7, we will get:

p(7) = $10.75*7 = $72.25

So if she works for 7 hours collecting data, her payment is $72.25, that is the meaning of the point.

So the correct option is D.

The researcher works 7 hours to earn $75.25
