Answer:
Richard is making $9.6 per hour now
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Initial amount Richard was earning = $10/hr
Due to lass in productivity 20% pay was cut
Amount Richard was earning after 20% pay cut = $8/hour.
After few again due to increase in productivity Diane gave a 20% raise.
To Find:
How much is Richard making now = ?
Solution:
Let the amount that Richard is making now be x
Then
x = 8+ 20% of 8
x =
x =
x =
x = 9.6
Answer:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b
The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula, or rise over run. In this case that looks like:
(-2-4) - (8 - -1)
-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.
6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.
Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:
4 = (2/3)-1 +b
4 = -2/3 + b
4 2/3 = b
That means our complete equation is:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
OR
y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).
