Answer 1

I don’t see the table or the graph in your message. Please either paste the table values and two clear points from the graph, or upload a picture of them.

How I’ll solve it once I have the data:
1. Chloe’s hourly rate = change in y ÷ change in x from the table (or simply y/x if the table gives a single hour value). Show the arithmetic.
2. Sam’s hourly rate = slope of the line on the graph = (rise) ÷ (run) using two clear points on the line (or y/x if the line goes through the origin). Show the arithmetic.
3. Compare the two rates to see who earns more and subtract the smaller from the larger to get “how much more per hour.”

If you paste the table values and two points from the graph (for example: Sam’s line passes through (0,0) and (4,80)), I’ll compute the answer and show the work.
