The slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 8) and (2,8) is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 0 because you would subtract the y ones first 8-8, subtract the x ones next 2-(-4). You would get 0/6. When you would divide 0/6, you would get 0

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $67,000 per year. Hourly emp
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Salaried pay. Salaried employees make more per week than hourly employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

A salaried employee makes $67,000 per year. To know which option is better, we need to calculate how much hourly employees make in year.

An hourly employee needs to work 44 hours a week (0+10+8+8+7+6.5+4.5 = 40). So the first 40 hours will be paid 25$ per hour and the next 4 will be paid $37.50 per hour. So an hourly employee will make $1150 a week (40*$25 + 4*$37.50 = $1150).

Considering that a month has 4 weeks, and a year has 12 months, an hourly employee will make $55,200 a year ($1150*4*12=$55,200).

An hourly employee makes $55,200 a year, while a salaried employee makes $67,000. So I would recommend the option c) to a new employee.
