Question

Jack works after school. Each day he is paid a set amount, plus an hourly wage. Look at the table. Choose the linear function f Jack can use to find his pay. Hours 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 Pay 18 23 28 33 38 A. f(x) = 10x + 8 B. f(x) = 15x + 3 C. f(x) = 0.5x + 1 D. f(x) = x + 18

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct linear equation is;

f(x) = 10x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the correct linear function, we just need to take a specific point, then substitute in each of the equations given to get the one right

The correct one will be the one in which when the x-value is substituted, we will get the y-value

Let us pick (1,18)

Let us begin testing;

A. f(x) = 10x + 8

f(1) = 10(1) + 8 = 10 + 8 = 18

Let us use another point to test this

The second point is (1.5,23)

f(1.5) = 10(1.5) + 8

= 15 + 8 = 23
