Question

Roy worked for 2 hours and earned $12. How many hours must he work at the same rate to earn $36

Answer 1

tx = y
where x is the rate of pay
t is time in hourse
and y is pay

so we have

2x = 12
solve for x

then use the equation I provided above

Answer 2

x will give you his rate per hour pay

Answer 3

@Australopithecus is it 6?

this is just y = mx + b where the y intercept is 0 because if he works 0 hours he gets payed 0 dollars

Answer 5

so its not 6

Answer 6

no that is the slope

Answer 7

Answer 8

what im working on isnt a graph

Answer 9

yes but if you want to be able to answer questions like these you have to understand the thinking behind the answers

Answer 10

and you actually are working on a graph really

Answer 11

you want a function that displays time vs pay so you can extrapolate what time he has worked to make 36 dollars

Answer 12

but anyways if you have his hourly pay it shouldn't be hard for you to figure out how many hours he worked

Answer 13

it is 6
