An illustration shows two graphs depicting earnings per hour for employees 1 and 2. The first graph shows earnings per hour for employee 1. The horizontal axis shows hours ranging from 0 to 8 in increments of 2. The vertical axis shows earnings in dollars ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Four data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 25 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 50 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points. The second graph shows earnings per hour for employee 2. The horizontal axis shows hours ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows earnings in dollars ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Four data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through four plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 3 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 9 right parenthesis. The solid line forms the hypotenuse for two triangles. The first triangle is marked with a dotted line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 0 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 1 comma 3 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 1, and the perpendicular height on the right is labeled as 3. The second triangle is marked with a dashed line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 1 comma 3 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 3 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma 9 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 2, and the perpendicular height on the right is labeled as 6.
Use similar triangles to determine the slope of the line.
