Rays are named according to their endpoints, the first one named is the "starting" endpoint, the second one is the one that will continue on into infinity. Therefore, ray BA has a terminal endpoint at B and goes through point A into infinity. Ray AB has a terminal endpoint at A and goes through point B into infinity. Definitely NOT the same ray.
Company A
Income = 35,000 + 0.03x
Company B
Income = 25,000 + 0.05x
set them equal to see how much of sales Julia needs to make the same income at both companies.
30,000 + 0.03x = 25,000 + 0.05x
30,000 - 25,000 = 0.05x - 0.03x
5,000 = 0.02x
5,000/0.02 = x
250,000 = x
Company A has better base salary and so would pay better if less than 250,000 sales are made. Company B has bigger percent bonus and would be a better deal if more than 250,000 sales are made.
So it's the 2nd choice.
