Keylie is a freelance web designer. She charges her clients a $20 consulting fee plus $45 per hour worked. If they need images, Keylie charges an additional $15 fee for image research. Which graph accurately represents how much money Keylie will make if she has to work for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours for a client and has to find images?(1 point)

Five points are plotted on a coordinate plane, and a line is graphed passing through them. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 15 in increments of 5. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 600 in increments of 100.

To find out how much money Keylie will make for different hours worked (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours) including the image research fee, we can use the following formula:

Total cost = Consulting fee + (Hourly rate × Hours worked) + Image research fee

Given:

  • Consulting fee = $20
  • Hourly rate = $45
  • Image research fee = $15

We can calculate the total for each time worked:

  1. For 4 hours: \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + (45 \times 4) + 15 = 20 + 180 + 15 = 215 \]

  2. For 6 hours: \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + (45 \times 6) + 15 = 20 + 270 + 15 = 305 \]

  3. For 8 hours: \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + (45 \times 8) + 15 = 20 + 360 + 15 = 395 \]

  4. For 10 hours: \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + (45 \times 10) + 15 = 20 + 450 + 15 = 485 \]

  5. For 12 hours: \[ \text{Total cost} = 20 + (45 \times 12) + 15 = 20 + 540 + 15 = 575 \]

Now we have the following points to plot:

  • (4, 215)
  • (6, 305)
  • (8, 395)
  • (10, 485)
  • (12, 575)

Next, we can assess these points against the descriptions of the graphs provided:

  • X-axis clearly represents hours.
  • Y-axis represents total earnings in the range that accommodates values from 215 to 575.

Based on the above points, the graph that best represents these calculations will have the x-axis ranging from 0 to 15 in increments of 5 and the y-axis ranging from 0 to 600 in increments of 100, which would include all of our calculated points.

Thus, the correct graph is the one that accurately reflects these values on the given axes.
