The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b

m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

b=y-intercept (the value of y when x=zero)

Answer:

D. y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the table to answer the question.

x:-2 -1 0 1 2

y: -1 1 3 5 7

Which equation represents the relationship between x and y shown in the table.

Solution:

The table shows a linear relationship between x and y.

A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the value of y when x = 0.

The table (x, y) has the points (-2, -1) and (0, 3). The equation is given by:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-(-1)= \frac{3-(-1)}{0-(-2)} (x-(-2))\\\\y+1=2(x+2)\\\\y+1=2x+4\\\\y=2x+3$

A restaurant worker server earns a base salary of $6 per hour plus tips. If he averages $12 per hour in tips, how many hours mus

zhannawk [14.2K]

18.5 hours

To solve this problem, you first need to figure out the average amount of money per hour the worker earns.

That would be the base salary plus the average tips per hour. So

$6 + $12 = $18

Then to figure out how many hours the worker needs to work, divide the goal by the hourly earnings. So

$333 / $18 = 18.5 hours.

Therefore on average, it will take 18.5 hours to earn $333, assuming a base salary of $6/hour and an average of $12 in tips per hour.
