Sarah accepted a new job at a company with a contract guaranteeing annual raises. Sarah's salary after working for n years can be determined using the equation

S = 90000 + 3500n. What is the slope of the equation and what is its

interpretation in the context of the problem?

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is in the form of y = mx + b, where y is a dependent variable (that is it depends on other variable), x is an independent variable (that is it does not depend on any variable), m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the value of y at x =0

Given that S is salary, n is number of working years. It is given by:

S = 90000 + 3500n

the slope = 3500

The equation means that Sarah's beginning salary is 90000 and the salary increases by 3500 each year

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

the answer is

d.
