Question

When Joseph first starts working at a grocery store, his hourly rate is $ 10 $10dollar sign, 10. For each year he works at the grocery store, his hourly rate increases by $ 0.50 $0

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 10+ 0.50 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial = \ 10$

$Increment = \ 0.50$ -- yearly

Required

Represent as a function (this is the missing part of the question)

The given details show that the question illustrates linear function

i.e.

$y = b + mx$

In this case, it is:

$Current\ Rate = Initial + Increment * Years$

Represent the current rate with y and the years with x.

So, we have:

$y = Initial + Increment * x$

Substitute 10 for Initial and 0.5 for Increment

$y = 10+ 0.50 * x$

$y = 10+ 0.50 x$
