1) Examining that graph, we can see that this is a decreasing function, due to the line direction. And that the initial value is the y-intercept.
2) Hence, the initial value is 4. Notice that all values after that goes decreasing for y.
You first need the number of hours worked
Changing the positive/negative happens when you multiply something by -1
-1(x-1) = -x+1
-(x-1) = (-x+1)
3 - (x - 1) = 3 + ( -x + 1) = 4 -x
The answer is x = 9
My first step in solving this is dividing 15 by 5.<span />
