The quantity represented on the y-axis for your piecewise function would be the amount of tax. Therefore, you should type 2 for the amount of tax.
If you earned up to $120,000 in 2011, you were taxed at a rate of roughly 6% of your income. If you made over $120,000, you were taxed at a flat rate of $8,000. If you were to graph this as a piecewise function to represent the tax for incomes between $0 and $750,000, what quantity would be represented on the y-axis?
Type 1 for salary.
Type 2 for amount of tax.
