Create a linear equation that represents the following scenario. Malia is working for a rate of $17.35 an hour. She got a hiring bonus of $100. What equation would represent the amount of money she would take in based on the number of hours, x?(1 point)

Question

Responses

y=17.35x−100
y equals 17.35 x minus 100

y=17.35x+100
y equals 17.35 x plus 100

y=100x−17.35
y equals 100 x minus 17.35

y=100x+17.35

Answer 1

The correct equation to represent the amount of money Malia would take in based on the number of hours worked (x) is:

y = 17.35x + 100

This equation shows that for every hour she works (x), she earns $17.35, and she also receives an initial hiring bonus of $100.
