Question

Marc mows lawns for $25 each lawn, plus $5 for every hour he spends mowing. The equation for his total earnings per lawn is y = 25 + 5h, where y represents his total earnings and h represents the number of hours he works. What does the flat pay of $25 represent in this situation? Dependent variable Independent variable Intercept Slope

Answer 1

Answer:

The flat pay $25 represents the intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question we need to first understand and compare it with the equation of straight line.

i.e $y= mx+c$  which is the equation of line

where m= slope

           y= dependent variable

           x= independent variable

          c= intercept

Given

$y= 25+5h$

comparing both expression we can see that

25 corresponds to c which is the intercept
