Question

When David first got a job, his annual income was $20,000. He worked hard and got more experience. After 8 years, he realized that his average increase in pay was about $4,000 every year. Which scatter plot represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation would be:

y= 4,000(x-1)+20,000

y= annual income

x= number of years

With this you can find the points for the scatter plot:

x=1 y= 20,000

x=2 y= 24,000

x=3 y= 28,000

x=4 y= 32,000

x=5 y= 36,000

x=6 y= 40,000

x=7 y= 44,000

x=8 y= 48,000

The scatter plot that represents this situation is attached.
