Question

ramon earns $10 an hour plus a one time traveling fee of $15. write an equation where y is the amount of ramon earns for x amount of hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=10x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

y= is the amount that ramon earns, this part is already given.

10 dolars an hour so since the question says x anount of hours you'd add x to 10 making 10x

plue a one time traveling fee of $15 so you add that to the equation too

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 10x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we know how to format Ramon's earnings.

First, we need to figure out m, the amount he will make consistently (this can be represented as a slope).  We know that Ramon will earn $10/hour, so this will be our 'm'.  

—> y = $10x + __

Next, we need to find b, or our y-intercept.  The y-intercept is a one-time thing in slope-intercept form, so all we have to do is find the amount he will make only once.  This will be $15, or the traveling fee.

—> y = $10x + $15

Now, we have our equation!
