I don't like trying all of them so I will make up my own which will probably be in the answers
so equation is
f(x)=pay
x=hours worked
solve so
f(1)=110
f(2)=130
f(3)=150
f(4)=170
they seem to be increasing in 20 increments so therefor the pay is linked to hours times 20 so that measn that every hour he works, he gets 20 dollars
therefor the answer is f(n+1)=f(n)+20 since we know that 1 hour=$20 so n+1hour=n+$20
the answe ris f(n+1)=f(n)+20
You are told to ignore the amount of principal paid, so you are apparently to assume the loan amount was for $50 thousand.
a) The old monthly payment was $10.67×50 = $533.50
b) The new monthly payment is $11.72×50 = $586.00
c) The increase in monthly payment is figured in the usual way:
... (new/old -1)×100% = (1.0984-1)×100% = 9.84%

In reality, about 3% of the loan will have been paid at the end of 2 years. Thus, the original loan amount may have been near $51,500. This problem is telling you to ignore the difference.
It would be: 12/75 = 4/25
So, your answer is 4/25
1. That it is in a straight line.
2. And it goes through the origin.
