Consider the scenario: A job raking leaves pays $10 to get started, then $15 for every hour of work. Decide which type of function best represents how much money the leaf-raker make at a worksite.(1 point)

Question

Responses

a positive exponential function
a positive exponential function

a positive linear function
a positive linear function

a negative quadratic function
a negative quadratic function

a negative linear function

Answer 1

The scenario describes a situation where the leaf-raker earns an initial payment of $10, and then earns an additional $15 for every hour worked.

The total earnings can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 10 + 15h \]

where \( h \) represents the number of hours worked.

This equation is a linear function because it represents a constant rate of change (earning $15 for each additional hour worked).

Therefore, the best response is:

a positive linear function.
