Question

Mike earned the amounts listed in the table below. Hours Worked (h) Amount Earned (E) 15 $183.75 22 $269.50 26 $318.50 Which equation could be used to find the amount of money Mike earns, E, for any number of hours worked, h?

Answer 1

Slope = (269.50 - 183.75)/(22 - 15)
= 85.75 / 7
= 12.25

Equation
E = $12.25 h

If h = 15, E = $12.25 * 15 = $183.75

If h = 22, E = $12.25 * 22 = $269.50

If h = 26, E = $12.25 * 26 = $318.50

Answer

Equation
E = $12.25 h
