Question

The proportional relationship for the earnings and hours worked for Employee 1 is displayed in the table. The proportional relationship between the earnings and hours worked for Employee 2 is displayed in the graph. What is the equation that represents the proportional relationship between the earnings and hours worked for Employee 1 and Employee 2?

Answer 1

I don’t see the table or the graph. Could you paste the table values or upload the graph (or give one clear point from the graph)? With that I’ll compute the exact equations.

How to find them yourself:
- A proportional relationship has form y = kx where k is the unit rate (earnings per hour).
- For Employee 1 (table): pick any row and compute k = earnings ÷ hours, then y = kx.
- For Employee 2 (graph): pick any point (x,y) on the line (other than the origin), compute k = y ÷ x, then y = kx.

Example: if Employee 1’s table shows 3 hours → $24, then k = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 and the equation is y = 8x. If Employee 2’s graph goes through (4, 60), then k = 60 ÷ 4 = 15 and the equation is y = 15x.

Send the table or a point from the graph and I’ll give the exact equations.
