Answer:
[tex]y=10.25x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> represents hours worked
y----> represents total earnings in dollars
we know that
The linear equation that represent this situation is
[tex]y=10.25x[/tex]
Remember that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]
therefore
In this problem we have a linear direct variation
The constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m
[tex]k=m=10.25\ \frac{\$}{hour}[/tex]
