The total amount earned by Bella is given by the equation Y = 35 + X, where Y represents the total amount earned and X represents the number of programs sold.
Similarly, the total amount earned by Arun is given by the equation Y = 25 + X.
To compare these linear relationships, we can compare the slopes and the y-intercepts.
The slope of Bella's relationship is 1 because for every program sold, she earns $1. The y-intercept is 35 because even if she doesn't sell any programs, she still earns a flat rate of $35.
The slope of Arun's relationship is also 1 because for every program sold, he earns $1. The y-intercept is 25 because even if he doesn't sell any programs, he still earns a flat rate of $25.
Therefore, the additive linear relationships for Bella and Arun are the same since they both have a slope of 1 and different y-intercepts.
Bella is paid $35 for selling tickets at Henderson High School football games plus $1 for each program that she sells. Arun is paid $25 for selling tickets at Middletown High School football games plus $1 for each program that he sells. Bella sold 40 programs and Arun sold 65 programs at Saturday’s game. Which of the following correctly compares these additive linear relationships?
