Create a linear equation that represents the following scenario. Malia is working for a rate of $17.35 an hour. She got a hiring bonus of $100. What equation would represent the amount of money she would take in based on the number of hours, x?(1 point)

Question

Responses

y=17.35x−100
y equals 17.35 x minus 100

y=100x+17.35
y equals 100 x plus 17.35

y=100x−17.35
y equals 100 x minus 17.35

y=17.35x+100

Answer 1

The correct equation to represent the amount of money Malia would take in based on the number of hours worked, \( x \), is:

\[ y = 17.35x + 100 \]

In this equation, \( y \) represents the total amount of money she makes, \( 17.35x \) represents the money earned from working \( x \) hours, and the \( 100 \) is the hiring bonus she received.
