Question

​3. Contractor 3 tells Mrs. Solar that he charges an hourly rate and that there is no one-time consultation fee. For Parts (a) − (d) below, say whether the graph may represent the fees for Contractor 3. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

I'm guessing either d or a is right?

Answer 2

yes, you are right. do you see a difference between the two graphs of a and d?

Answer 3

a starts at the origin and d starts at some point on the x axis?

Answer 4

Yes, you know that the contractor charges an hourly pay. Let's assume that the contractor get's paid 1$ per hour. Can you guess which graph is right with this assumption?

Answer 5

d?

Answer 6

graph A shows you that the contractor get's paid 0$ and 0 hours, then 1$ and 1 hour, then 2$ at 2 hours......
Graph B shows you that the contractor gets paid 0$ at 1 hour, then 1$ and 2 hours.........

well, when you look at graph D you notice that the contractor is getting paid ZERO dollars after an hour. BUT remember he get's paid hourly. So that tells you graph D is wrong
