To find the equations representing the proportional relationships between the earnings and hours for Employee 1 and Employee 2, we will analyze the provided information.
Employee 1:
From the table:
- For 1 hour, earnings are $10.
- For 2 hours, earnings are $20.
- For 3 hours, earnings are $30.
We can see that the earnings are directly proportional to the hours worked. The common factor here is $10 per hour.
Thus, the equation for Employee 1 can be written as: \[ E_1 = 10h \] where \(E_1\) represents the earnings and \(h\) represents the hours worked.
Employee 2:
Since the graph is not provided here, I will fill in a general assumption. If Employee 2's graph shows a similar pattern (for example, earning $15 per hour), we would write:
Assuming that the earnings for Employee 2 is $15 per hour, the equation would be: \[ E_2 = 15h \]
Thus, the answer would be:
- The equation for Employee 1 is \(E_1 = 10h\).
- The equation for Employee 2 is \(E_2 = 15h\) (assuming $15 per hour, as an example).
If you have specific values for Employee 2 or any details from the graph, please provide them for a more accurate answer!
