Consider the scenario: A job raking leaves pays $10 to get started, then $15 for every hour of work. Decide which type of function best represents how much money the leaf-raker make at a worksite.

1 answer

A linear function best represents how much money the leaf-raker makes at a worksite.

The function would be:
M(x) = 10 + 15x

Where M(x) represents the amount of money the leaf-raker makes in dollars, and x represents the number of hours worked. The $10 is the initial payment for getting started, and $15 is the amount earned for each hour of work.
