Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x -----> the number of hours worked
y ----> the amount paid in dollars
In this problem we have a proportional variation, between two variables, x, and y
<em>Find out the constant of proportionality k</em>
For (5,300) ----->
----> 
For (4,240) ----->
----> 
For (6,360) ----->
----> 
The constant k is

The equation is equal to

The unit rate of change of dollars with respect to time is equal to the constant of proportionality or slope of the linear equation
therefore
