Model of the data in the table with a linear equation in slope, intercept form and tell her the slope and Y intercept represent.
time worked. Wages earned
X(h). Y($)
1. 6.50
3. 19.50
6. 39.00
9. 58.50
Write the linear equation in slope intercept form
y = 6.5x + 0
The slope of the equation is 6.5, which represents the rate of change in wages earned for each hour worked. The y-intercept is 0, which represents the wages earned when no hours are worked.
