Let us assume that a person works for 8 hours a day.

Let us assume that the person works for 5 days a week.

Wage earned per hour = $15

So, wage earned in 8 hours = 15*8 = $120

Now, wage earned in 1 day = 120

So, wage earned in 5 days = 120*5 =$600

As the person works for 5 days in 1 week

So, in 50 weeks, he will work = 50*5 = 250 days

So, total number of hours he must have worked = 250*8 =2000 hours

Now, per hour wage = $15

wage in 2000 hours = 15*2000 = $30000

Hence, the estimated wage a person earns in 50 weeks = $30000

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (-1,-2) and (5,1)

Volgvan

Answer:

Y=-1/2x ?

Step-by-step explanation:

There might be an y intercept. First find the slope. (Change in y over change in x) -2-1 over -1-5 then you get -3/-6. You can simplify an get -1/2. That forms an equation of y=-1/2x. That might be part of the answer. You still might need to find the y intercept, and I dont know how really. Hope this helps.

How do you graph a linear equation? For example, -18x+9y=72

nikdorinn [45]

Basically with the example you have you need to have the x and y variables on different sides.
Equation:
-18x+9y=72 (now you want to add 18x on both sides)
+18x +18x
9y=72+18x (next you divide 9 to both sides to get x and y alone)
9
y=8+2x (now that you have the x and y alone this is the final equation)

On the graph you want to put a dot on 8 since it's the y-intercept or the starting point of the equation. After that you want to add 2 every time you go by 1 on the x-axis. I have a picture of a graph...

I hope this help you out :D
