.You work for a manufacturing company on a production line that manufactures cell phones. You are paid $30 a day plus $0.75 for each phone that you assemble. Predict your wages if you assemble 100 phone in one day, using the equation of the trend line y=0.75x+30

, where x
is the number of phones assembled in one day and y
is the total wages. Write your wages in dollars and cents.(1 point)
Your wages are $

To calculate your wages, we can plug in the number of phones assembled (100) into the equation of the trend line:

\[ y = 0.75x + 30 \]

Substituting \( x = 100 \):

\[ y = 0.75(100) + 30 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ y = 75 + 30 \] \[ y = 105 \]

So, your wages if you assemble 100 phones in one day are $105.00.
