Only the total pay when the rate is fixed at $15 per hour.

Reason: A linear function has a constant rate (slope). Pay = (rate) × hours is linear only when the hourly rate is constant. If the rate changes with job type, difficulty, or number of hours, the slope is not constant (or you'd need piecewise lines), so it is not a single linear function.
