Answer:
$1632
Step-by-step explanation:
Hourly pay for Diego = $10.20
Weekly hours = 40 Hours
Basic earning = 10.20 × 40 = $408
Overtime pay = 15 × Hourly rate = 15 × 10.20 = $153
Total overtime = 8 hours
Overtime earning = 153 × 8 = 1224
Total earning for the week = 408 + 1224 = $1632
The answer is choice D
-----------------------------------------
Explanation:
We can rule out choice B and choice C which are y = 2.4^x and y = 3.5^x respectively. Why can we eliminate these? Because they are growth functions (the bases are larger than 1). The graph shown is a decay function. It goes downhill as you read it from left to right.
The answer is either choice A or choice D
If we plug in x = -2 into the equations for A and D, we get
y = 0.65^x = 0.65^(-2) = 2.36686
y = 0.32^x = 0.32^(-2) = 9.765625
The result for choice D is much closer to what the graph is showing. The graph appears to have the point (-2,11) on the curve. So that's why choice D is the best answer.
Note: the graph is a bit small and its not entirely clear which points are on this graph other than (0,1). So this is a bit of educated guesswork.
Usually, we use the slope formula to find the slope of a line when we know two points on the line. But if we already know the slope of a line, we can use the slope formula to find a missing coordinate of a point on the line.
