Keylie is a freelance web designer. She charges her clients a $20 consulting fee plus $45 per hour worked. If they need images, Keylie charges an additional $15 fee for image research. Which graph accurately represents how much money Keylie will make if she has to work for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours for a client and has to find images?

Five points are plotted on a coordinate plane, and a line is graphed passing through them. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 600 in increments of 100. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 12 in increments of 2.

To calculate how much money Keylie will make for different hours worked while also charging for image research, we can use the following formula:

Total cost \( = Consulting fee + (Hourly rate \times Hours worked) + Image research fee \)

Keylie has:

  • A consulting fee of $20
  • An hourly rate of $45
  • An image research fee of $15

Now let's calculate the total cost for each of the specified hours (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours).

  1. For 4 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times 4) + 15 = 20 + 180 + 15 = 215 \]

  2. For 6 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times 6) + 15 = 20 + 270 + 15 = 305 \]

  3. For 8 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times 8) + 15 = 20 + 360 + 15 = 395 \]

  4. For 10 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times 10) + 15 = 20 + 450 + 15 = 485 \]

  5. For 12 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times 12) + 15 = 20 + 540 + 15 = 575 \]

Now we have the total amounts Keylie will make:

  • 4 hours: $215
  • 6 hours: $305
  • 8 hours: $395
  • 10 hours: $485
  • 12 hours: $575

Now, let's summarize this in coordinate format (x-axis for hours, y-axis for total cost):

  • (4, 215)
  • (6, 305)
  • (8, 395)
  • (10, 485)
  • (12, 575)

Next, we need to identify the correct coordinate range for the graphs:

The x-axis represents hours worked, so it should range from 0 to 15 (covering up to 12 hours).

The y-axis indicates total costs. We calculated a maximum of $575, which requires the y-axis to extend to at least $600.

With this information in mind, the graph should have:

  • X-axis from 0 to 15 (representing hours),
  • Y-axis from 0 to 600 (to accommodate the total costs).

Among the options, the graph that meets this criteria is: Five points are plotted on a coordinate plane, and a line is graphed passing through them. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 15 in increments of 5. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 600 in increments of 100.

Thus, this graph accurately represents Keylie's earnings based on the calculations provided.

if u r incorrect i will call a garbage truck on you!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I'm here to help! Based on the calculations I provided, the correct graph that represents Keylie's earnings for the specified hours worked is indeed the one with the x-axis ranging from 0 to 15 and the y-axis ranging from 0 to 600. The calculations of the total cost for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours were checked and confirmed. If you have any further questions or require additional clarification, please let me know!
