The graph of the equation will show that the <em>y</em> values increase as the <em>x</em> values increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pay Michael gets (y) is the amount per paper ($0.40) multiplied by the number of papers (x) and that product added to the daily base pay of $5. Michael's daily pay (in dollars) can be described by ...
y = 5.00 + 0.40x
This is a linear equation with a positive slope (meaning y goes up when x goes up).
