So, x is gonna be how many hours he works, with 25 being the initial constant
$$y=6.75x+25$$

Thank you. How would you find the ordered pairs with this equation? I'm totally lost.

agreene · Answer

to find the ordered pairs you will plug in values for x and find related y value. in this example they give you the x values, so plug them in and find y for each, and then write them as ordered pairs
(x,y)
