Answer:
f(x)=nx
or
f(x)=9.50x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of hours and n be the hourly rate (9.50).

or if you prefer to use 9.50 instead of n, the function would be:

Check the picture below.
well, we want only the equation of the diametrical line, now, the diameter can touch the chord at any several angles, as well at a right-angle.
bearing in mind that <u>perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal</u> slopes, hmm let's find firstly the slope of AB, and the negative reciprocal of that will be the slope of the diameter, that is passing through the midpoint of AB.

so, it passes through the midpoint of AB,

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 4/3 and runs through (3 , 5/2)
