The equation, graph, and table is shown represent the amount of pay (p) in dollars they each receive as a function of the number of hours (h) a computer repair takes. Study each of the functions and then answer the question using complete sentences. please show how you got answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Steve's pay is the highest and is equal to 55 dollars per hour.

The column for pay corresponding to 1 hour is $55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geeta's pay:

The equation for Geeta's pay is given as:

$p=75+45h$

Where, 'p' is in dollars and 'h' is in hours.

The above equation is a linear equation of the form $y=mx+b$, where 'm' is the rate of change of pay or the pay per hour.

So, the pay per hour of Geeta is 45 dollars.

Richard's pay:

The graph of Richard's pay is a straight line. The slope of the line gives the rate of change of pay or the pay per hour.

The slope of the line is given as:

Slope = Rise over run = $\frac{80-50}{1-0}=30$ dollars per hour.

So, Richard's pay per hour is 30 dollars.

Steve's pay:

The table of hours and pay is given.

The rate of change or pay per hour can be obtained by using two values of both hours and pay.

Consider $h=3\ and\ h=5$ and $p=165\ and\ p=275$

Now, pay per hour = $\frac{275-165}{5-3}=\frac{110}{2}=55$ dollars

Therefore, Steve's pay per hour is 55 dollars.

The column for pay corresponding to 1 hour is $55.

On comparing, Steve's pay is the highest and is equal to 55 dollars per hour.
