Answer:
Sarah is paid $20 an hour at her new job. She wishes to graph her total pay y, as a function of the number of hours, x. She wants to be sure her graph shows her pay for 10 and 20 hours of work.
a. What is a good scale to use for the x-axis? Explain your reasoning.
b. What is a good interval to use for the y-axis? Explain your r
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
equation format: y = mx + b where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
From the points given we find that it is a horizontal line, which means slope or m = 0. So we know so far:
y = 0x + b or y = b
The y-intercept occurs where x = 0. This occurs at y = -7. So the equation for these two points:
EQUATION: y = -7
(Plotted graph attached)
So the slop intercept equation is y= mx+b, so you take the 1/2x and plot it on the X axis. then since the slop is 1, you go over one, up one. and then that is how you graph the equation.
