Relationship A has a greater rate than Relationship B. These numbers represent Relationship B. Hours worked: ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 )
( 8 ). Amount paid: ( 30.40 ) ( 60.80 ) ( 76 ) (121.60 ). Which equation could represent Relationship A? Hours worked is represented by x and Amount paid is represented by y. Select each correct answer. ( y = 14.9x) ( y = 16.4x ) ( y = 15.2x ) ( y = 15.4x )
The data for relationship B is shown in this table. Hours Amount Worked Paid ----------- -------------- 2 30.40 4 60.80 5 76 8 121.60
A graph of the data is shown below. It passes through (0,0). Its slope is (121.6 - 30.40) / (8 - 2) = 15.2 Therefore its equation is y = 15.2x +0 = 15.2x
