Geeta, Richard, and Steve are all computer repair technicians. The equation, graph, and table shown represent the amount of pay (p) in dollars they each receive as a function of the number of hours (h) a computer repair takes. Study each of the functions and then answer the question using complete sentences.
Do I solve this by finding the slope?
@DCharger96
There's a graph, where's that at?

Should I solve the steps on my own then show you my answer to see if its correct? Or just take me through the steps?
Let me see what you know first UwU
okay if this is about finding the slope, for Greeta p=75+45h the slope is 45. For Richard the coordinate points on the graph are (0,50), (1,80), (2,110) meaning in the beginning he started with 50 dollars per hour each week, so m=30. For Steve he starts with 110 dollars per hour I know this because when you subtract 275-165 and 385-275 you get 110. So the coordinate points on the graph are (1,110), (3,165), (5,275), (7,385) and therefore m=275/6. What do you think?
Oml, this makes more sense now. I didn't know what the objective of the question was. It's just explaining and solving the equation, graph, and table, right?
Its is asking me who earns the most per hour and to explain, sorry I forgot to include the actual question the post.
That's fine, let me go look at it
okay, thanks
Let's work this out, we'll get to the paragraph later. Do you know who has the most pay?
Steve has the most pay because his pay is 275/6 dollars per hour
I think that's correct since the slope for Gretta's pay is 45, that's what she starts with, right?
yes, thank you
Yup, so you're answer is Steve, and Richard has the 2nd biggest pay and Gretta is last. Make sure when explaining you use punctuation and grammar correctly o.O
Okay thank you so much
