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 600 in increments of 100. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 12 in increments of 2.

To determine how much money Keylie will make for different hours of work while also needing to find images, we can analyze the provided pricing structure:

Keylie charges:

  • A consulting fee: $20
  • A fee per hour: $45
  • An additional fee for image research: $15

The total cost can be calculated with the following formula: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 20 + (45 \times \text{Hours Worked}) + 15 \] This can be simplified to: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times \text{Hours Worked} \]

Now, let's calculate the total cost for 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours worked:

  1. For 4 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times 4 = 35 + 180 = 215 \]

  2. For 6 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times 6 = 35 + 270 = 305 \]

  3. For 8 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times 8 = 35 + 360 = 395 \]

  4. For 10 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times 10 = 35 + 450 = 485 \]

  5. For 12 hours: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 35 + 45 \times 12 = 35 + 540 = 575 \]

Now we have the following points:

  • For 4 hours: 215
  • For 6 hours: 305
  • For 8 hours: 395
  • For 10 hours: 485
  • For 12 hours: 575

Based on the calculated results, we can identify which graph represents these points. The y-values represent the total money earned, which range from $215 (for 4 hours) to $575 (for 12 hours).

The appropriate graph would have a y-axis that comfortably covers the range from at least $200 to $600.

Among the options presented, the second one appears to be more appropriate, as it covers the scale on the y-axis from $0 to $600. Without seeing the actual plotted points on the graph, it would be difficult to mark the exact correlation, but it sounds like that would be the most reasonable one.

If any of the graphs fits this described range (especially the second and third, given they describe a range that matches upwards of 600), then choose that, as that's where Keylie’s income based on the number of hours worked will be represented correctly.
