1. John began his job making $25 the first day. After that he was paid $6.75 per hour. a) Use the equation y 6.75x +25 to comple
te the chart below. (1 point) b) Make a graph and connect your points in a line. (1 point) c) Label your axis with the appropriate intervals (for example 5, 10, 15... and a title with units, for example time (hours).
a. We use the equation given to us and plug in the values of "x" that have been shown to find the corresponding values of y.
So, when x=0,
when x=20,
when x=40,
b. The graph has been shown in a similar manner. All the three points of part a are connected to form the straight line y=6.75x+25. So, we have (0,25), (20,160) and (40, 295)
c. The y axis is the earnings in dollars and the x axis is the number of hours worked.
