Question

The graph shows how much money Dante earns for different numbers of hours worked

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is 10.25. This means that Dante earns $10.25 each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

In the given graph , the graph is passing through (4, 41) and (7, 71.75) is given by :-

$m=\dfrac{71.75-41}{7-4}\\\\=\dfrac{30.75}{3}\\\\=10.25$

Thus , the slope of the line = 10.25

Also, we know that the slope of line tells the the rate of change of y (dependent variable ) with respect to x ( independent variable) .

Here , independent variable = Time (hr)

Dependent variable = Money ($)

Thus , the slope of the given line tells that Dante earns $10.25 each hour.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the slope is 10.25 so he’s making $10.25 an hour
