Jed earns $21.75 per hour as a tutor.
Using graph paper, draw a graph of the data. Should the points on the graph be connected? Why or why not?
The graph should have points connected because the data is continuous and represents Jed's earnings over time. Each point on the graph would represent Jed's earnings for a specific amount of time (e.g. earnings for one hour, two hours, three hours, etc.).
Here is a rough sketch of the graph:

Hours
In the graph, the x-axis represents the number of hours worked by Jed and the y-axis represents the earnings in dollars. Each point on the graph should be connected to show the trend of Jed's earnings over time.
