Answer: Given : Joe’s Earnings and hour worked
The relationship between money earned and hours worked is linear.
Joe computes the slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90), then computes the slope between (4, 30) and (10, 75).
To Find : How do the two slopes compare?
Solution:
Hours worked Money earned
4 $30
10 $75
12 $90
22 $165
slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90),
= (90 - 30)/(12 - 4)
= 60/8
= 15/2
slope between (4, 30) and (10, 75)
= (75 - 30)/(10-4)
= 45/6
= 15/2
The slope between (4, 30) and (12, 90) and between (4, 30) and (10, 75) is the same.
Both Slopes are same.
i hope this helped and have a nice day/night
