We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?

We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2

20 : 30 = 5 : x

We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)

20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm

Grace is an hourly employee, and the line that models her total pay in dollars
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: Hello mate!

if x is the amount of hours worked, 45 is the slope and the y intercept is 35.

A linear equation has the form of y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, then the equation that we have is:

y = 45*x + 35

this means that she wins $45 per hour, and has a plane amount of $35, indiferent of the amount of hours worked.

Then the correct answer is

C) Grace's wage is $45 an hour, and it appears that she received a  signing bonus of $35.
