The scenario that can be modeled by a linear function is:

the total pay of a person whose rate of pay per hour is fixed at $15 per hour.

In this case, the total pay is directly proportional to the number of hours worked, resulting in a linear relationship (Total Pay = $15 × Hours Worked).

The other scenarios involve varying pay rates or different factors affecting pay that would not yield a simple linear function.
