Yuritzi works at a sport shop she get paid $10 hourly and on top of that $2 for each item she sells. If she sells no items she gets paid 10, so the coordinates would be (0,10) if she sells 1 items she earns $12 (1,12) if she sells 3 items she will get $16 (3,16). What would be the slope? assuming you use y=mx+b

$2/item is the slope

To find the slope using the formula y = mx + b, where y is the dependent variable (earnings), x is the independent variable (number of items sold), m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept, we need to determine the change in earnings (y) with respect to the change in the number of items sold (x).

Let's calculate the slope using the given data points.

Point 1: (0, 10)
Point 2: (1, 12)
Point 3: (3, 16)

To find the slope (m), we use the formula:
m = (change in y) / (change in x)

Change in y = 12 - 10 = 2
Change in x = 1 - 0 = 1

So, the slope (m) is 2 / 1 = 2.

Therefore, the slope of the equation y = mx + b is 2.
