Let's call x1: The rate per hour of the number one mechanic. X2: The rate per hour of mechanic number two. The first thing you should do is identify the system of equations that best describes the problem. In this case it is a system of 2 equations with two unknowns which when solved gives a total of x1 = 85 $ / h and x2 = 50 $ / h. Attached solution.
Answer:
(6, 840) (5, 700) (3, 420) (4, 560)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the one point that is completely filled out, (6, 840). Divide 840 by 6 and you get 140 so that is the slope. 5x140= what the y intercept will be, 700. 420/140= what the x intercept will be, 3. Now you can see a pattern which helps check your work. They are all decreasing pretty much, not really ordered much but. And finally the last point 4x140=560. Hope that helps! :)
I’m assuming you’re asking for the slope which is 3/4
Just plot the points on the graph.
2. You know since the graph is a straight line, the ratios are proportional and therefore equivalent
