Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = 12x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a linear equation in the slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

where y = total pay, m = hourly salary, x = number of hours worked, and b = y-intercept, or initial value

Let's look in the table.

1 hour: $22

2 hours: $34

The difference in pay between 1 hour and 2 hours is $34 - $22 = $12.

The difference in time between 1 hour and 2 hours is 1 hour.

In 1 hour he earns $12. That means the slope is 12.

We know he earns $22 for working a total of 1 hour.

Start at 1 hour and $22 on the table.

Subtract 1 hour from 1 hour to get 0 hours.

Subtract $12 form $22 to get $10.

That means for 0 hours he gets $10. b = 10

The equation is

y = 12x + 10

In function form, we have:

f(x) = 12x = 10
