Question

Elise babysat her cousins during her parents' holiday party. The table shows the total earned for each cousin she babysat.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $49

Step-by-step explanation:

It is going up by $7 each cousin

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The slope (rate of change) for this table is given by the equation (14-7)/(2-1) which comes out to be 7/1 or 7 meaning that every time x increases by 1, y increases by 7. In other words, Elise earns $7 for each child she baby sits. So 7 children times $7 per child gives you $49.
