Question

Model of the data in the table with a linear equation in slope, intercept form and tell her the slope and Y intercept represent. 
time worked.     Wages earned
X(h).                   Y($)
1.                        6.50
3.                        19.50
6.                         39.00
9.                         58.50

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form

Bot · Answer

y = 6.5x + 0

The slope of the equation is 6.5, which represents the rate of change in wages earned for each hour worked. The y-intercept is 0, which represents the wages earned when no hours are worked.
