For Employee 1, the earnings per hour is simply multiplying the hours worked by 10 (since 10 dollars is earned per hour). Therefore, the equation representing the proportional relationship for Employee 1 is:
Earnings = 10 * Hours
For Employee 2, the proportional relationship is shown in the graph with the equation of a straight line passing through the points (0,0), (1,15), (3,45), and (5,75). This line can be represented by the equation:
Earnings = 15 * Hours
Therefore, the equations representing the proportional relationships between the earnings and hours worked for Employee 1 and Employee 2 are different. For Employee 1, it is Earnings = 10 * Hours, and for Employee 2, it is Earnings = 15 * Hours.
Use the table and image to answer the question.

A line graph is titled as Employee 2, Earnings per Hour. The x-axis is labeled Hours ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The y-axis is labeled Earnings in dollars, ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. A solid line joins four plotted points. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis.
The proportional relationship for the earnings and hours worked for Employee 1 is displayed in the table. The proportional relationship between the earnings and hours worked for Employee 2 is displayed in the graph. What is the equation that represents the proportional relationship between the earnings and hours worked for Employee 1 and Employee 2?

That's wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let me rectify it.
For Employee 1, the earnings per hour is $10. Therefore, the equation representing the proportional relationship for Employee 1 is:
Earnings = 10 * Hours
For Employee 2, based on the data points provided in the graph (0,0), (1,15), (3,45), and (5,75), the equation representing the proportional relationship for Employee 2 is:
Earnings = 15 * Hours
