Answer:
-0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'a' value can be found by looking at the difference between the y-value of a point 1 unit from the vertex, and the y-value of the vertex.
Here, that is a negative fraction of a unit. If we assume the value is a rational number that can be accurately determined from this graph, then we can find it by looking for a point where the graph crosses a grid intersection. It looks like such grid points are (-7, 0) and (3, 0). The vertex is apparently (-2, 4), so the vertex form of the equation is ...
y = a(x +2)^2 +4
Using the point (3, 0), we have ...
0 = a(3 +2)^2 +4 . . . . . fill in the values of x and y
-4 = 25a . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4; next, divide by 25
a = -4/25 = -0.16
The overtime rate is an added percentage to the regular rate. By how much percentage, this would depend on the place you're working. If your work in USA, under US federal labor and tax law, the rate would be 150%. Thus, the overtime rate would then be:
Overtime rate = $8.75/hour * 1.50 = $13.125/hour
