Answer:
y = 6.75x
Step-by-step explanation:
These 2 pieces of information can be used to create 2 points on the graph, where x is the number of hours and y is the amount he charges:
(5, 33.75) and (8, 54) are the 2 points
Use rise/run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(54 - 33.75) / (8 - 5)
20.25/3
= 6.75
Now, plug this and another point into y = mx + b to find b, the y intercept
54 = 6.75(8) + b
54 = 54 + b
0 = b
So, the equation is y = 6.75x
