Question

Dylan is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. He makes a base pay amount each day and then is paid a commission for every computer sale he makes. Let PP represent Dylan's total pay on a day on which he sells xx computers. A graph of PP is shown below. Write an equation for PP then state the slope of the graph and determine its interpretation in the context of the problem.

Answer 1

P=2.50x+100

The slope of the function is 2.50 which represents the commission Dylan makes for each computer sale. :)
