Melissa has a total of $250 in her savigns account. She started with $110 and then earned the rest of her savings by babysitting. Melissa charges $7 per hour. Write an equation to represent the situation and determine the number of hours (h) she babysat last week.

Number of hours= 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Net savings (babysitting)= 250 - 110= $140

Rate per hour= $7

To calculate the number of hours that Melissa worked as a babysitter, we need to use the following formula:

Number of hours= net savings / rate per hour

Number of hours= 140 / 7

Number of hours= 20 hours

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
