The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
<span>_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ;
</span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].

The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " .

First, Use the slope equation to find the slope of the line passing thru these two points:
m=rise/run
Here, the rise is 13-3, or 10, and the run is 7-2, or 5. Thus, the slope, m, is 10/5, or 2: m=2.
We want the slope-intercept form, so let's begin with its general form:
y=mx+b. Substitute the slope 2 for m: y=2x+b. Now choose either of the given points. Arbitrarily I am choosing (2,3). Then x=2 and y=3.
Substituting these values into y=2x+b: 3 = 2(2) + b, or b= 3 -4, or b = -1.
Then the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y = 2x - 1.
