The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.
The possible functions in the two scenarios are:
and 
The function is given as:

When the base salary is increased, a possible function is:

This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000
When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:

This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1
So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:
and 
See attachment for the graphs of both functions

You add all of the numbers up then divide them by the number of values you added
The rate of change of the linear equation is 
Explanation:
The given two coordinates are
and 
To determine the rate of change, let us use the formula,

Substituting the coordinates in the equation, we get,

Simplifying, we have,

Dividing, we get,

Thus, the rate of change of the linear equation is
