The equation in slope-intercept form to represent the relationship between hours worked (x) and earnings in dollars (y) is y = $5 + $15x.
An equation in slope intercept form is usually written as: y = mx + b
Where:
m = slope
b = intercept
If I earn $15 per hour when I babysit, the amount I earn increases by $15 every hour. $15 is the slope of the equation. After 3 hours, the total amount I would earn is: $15 x 5 = $45.
In order to determine the intercept, subtract $45 from $50.
Lines a and c have the same slope, so they are parallel. Write an equation of the line that passes through (5, −4) and is parallel to the line y = 2x + 3. Step 1 Find the slope of the parallel line. The graph of the given equation has a slope of 2.
