Write an algebraic expression to model the situation at your after school job you earn $7.75 per hour and are expected to pay a one time fee of $17 for the uniform. if you work x hours per week how much will you make during the first week?

Algebraic expression is 7.75 x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

you earn $7.75 per hour and are expected to pay a one time fee of $17 for the uniform.

LEt x be the number of hours you work

for 1 hour of work , you earn = 7.75

For x hours of work , you ear = 7.75 x

one time fee = $17

So we subtract the fee for the uniform from the first week earning

Expression becomes

7.75 x - 17

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
