Heyo Kiddo. How are you doing today?
Let's figure this out.
So, if "one number is p," then we can say the other number can represent the variable z.
We can conclude that: p + z = 45
For us to solve for z :
p + z = 45
- p -p
So then,
z = 45 - p
You're welcome. :)
The answer would be C because the y-intercept tells you what y when x is 0. In this case, y is wage and x is years of experience. So, if you have 0 years of experience you get an average of 7.25 dollars per hour, which is C.
