4h+3=The Pay of Shea
3.5h +6= The pay of Kelly
4h+3=3.5h+6
-3 -3
4h=3.5h+3
-3.5h
.5h=3
*2 *2
h=?
Then stick "h" into one of the original equations and solve for someones pay to get "p"
3.5(h)+6=p OR 4(h)+3 =p
Anything set to equal <em>y</em><em> </em>is considered a zero<em>slope</em>[<em>rate of change</em>], which is a <em>horisontal</em><em> </em><em>line</em>.
