Question

The table shows the amount of money LaTasha charges customers to mow their lawns. The table represents a linear function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table represents a linear function. The coordinate pairs are $(0,10),(\frac{1}{2},14),(2,18),(1\frac{1}{2},22),(2,26)$.

Choose any two points from these points and find the slope of the linear function.

Let the two points are (0,10) and (2,18).

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{18-10}{2-0}=\frac{8}{2}=4$

Since the slope of the line is 4, therefore the  LaTasha earns $4 for 1 hour of work.

The point (0,10) represents that LaTasha charges $10 at time 0. So,  LaTasha charges $10 before she begins mowing and option B is correct.

Answer 2

It is b    Latasha charges 10 dollars before she begins to work
