Question 419331: A company pays workers with eight years experience $40,000 per year, and workers with twenty years experience $57,000 per year. Assume that the company increases salaries linearly. Write a linear equation that gives salary S of a worker with t years of experience. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = salary/year
Let = experience in years
You are given 2 points:
(t,s) = (8,40000)
(t,s) = (20,57000)
Given 2 points, the formula is:
Multiply both sides by answer
check:
(t,s) = (20,57000)
OK
You can check the other point
