Question - Solving for Hours Worked at Different Pay Rates
Solution:
The image you've provided shows a graph with a linear line plotted only in the first quadrant of a Cartesian plane. The task "c. Graph this equation from the intercepts, using only the first quadrant" has already been completed in the picture. However, the next part of the question reads:"d. From the graph, about how many hours she worked at $9, if she worked 16 hours at $16 per hour?"Here's how you can solve this:1. Find the total earnings for 16 hours at $16 per hour by multiplying the two: 16 hours * $16/hour = $2562. On the graph, you would look for the point where the earnings, represented by the y-axis, is $256. However, I cannot see the entire graph to give the precise figure. I'll give guidance instead.3. Locate the point on the y-axis that corresponds to $256. Then draw a horizontal line from this point until it intersects with the graphed line.4. At the point of intersection, draw a vertical line down to the x-axis. The x-axis represents the number of hours worked at $9 per hour.5. Read the value on the x-axis where the vertical line intersects. This value will tell you the number of hours worked at $9 per hour.Since I cannot see the y-axis to see where $256 would be marked nor the complete x-axis, I cannot provide the exact number of hours. You'll need to use your view of the graph to complete the last step.
