1. A. Hourly wage

To find the slope of the graph representing Hunter's pay and the amount of hours worked, we need to determine what is changing on the vertical axis (y-axis) and what is changing on the horizontal axis (x-axis). In this case, the amount of hours worked is changing on the x-axis, and Hunter's pay (hourly wage) is changing on the y-axis. The slope of the graph will represent how much his pay changes for each hour worked.

2. B. 1/9.75

To find the slope of the graph, we need to calculate the ratio of how much Hunter's pay changes per hour worked. Since Hunter's starting wage is $9.75 per hour, for each hour worked, his pay increases by $9.75. Therefore, the slope of the graph is 1/9.75, meaning that for every additional hour worked, Hunter's pay increases by $1/9.75.
