Kim earns $30 for babysitting on Friday nights she makes an average of $1.25 in tips per hour write the function of Kim’s earnin
1 answer:
Hi there!
Let the amount of hours Kim worked be represented by X.
Her total earnings on a Friday night can be expressed as $30 + ($1.25 × the amount of hours). We can now set up a function for her total revenue (represented by Y).
When Kim works 3 hours we need to plug in x = 3 into the formula.
Therefore, after 3 hours of working, Kim would have made $33.75

Since we have to solve this system graphically, we'll have to draw both lines.
To draw a line, simply build a little tables with two x,y values: for the first line we have
So, you can draw the points (0,3) and (1,2), connect them, and you'll have the graph of the line
For the second line we have
So, you can draw the points (0,5) and (1,6), connect them, and you'll have the graph of the line
Finally, we have to check where the two lines cross. If your drawing is accurate enough, you'll see that the point you're looking for is (-1, 4)
