Answer:

A. 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

The new number is the increased wage, $8.25, and the old number is the original wage, $7.50.

percent change = ($8.25 - $7.50)/($7.50) * 100%

percent change = ($0.75)/($7.50) * 100%

percent change = 0.1 * 100%

percent change = 10%

Since the percent change is a positive number, it is a percent increase.

The percent increase was 10%.

Answer: A. 10%

Based on the graph, what is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly trav

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

<h2>The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, the dependent variable is Distance in miles, because it's on the vertical axis. Additionally, the independent variable is time in hours, because it's on the horizontal axis. However, you always put time as independent, because nothing affects time.

To find the equation, we just need to find the slope, using two points (0,0) and (2,40).

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{40-0}{2-0}=20$
