Given:
The equation is
[tex]y=21.2x[/tex]
Where, y is earnings for working in dollars and cents and x is the number of working hours.
To find:
The rate of change.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a linear function is
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] ...(i)
Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We have,
[tex]y=21.2x[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]m=21.2[/tex]
Therefore, the rate of change is 21.2 dollar and cents per hour.
