The hours are the independent variable and
should be plotted on the x-axis
The wages/wk earned are ( $11/hr )x( hrs worked )
This is the dependent variable ( depends on hours worked )
and should be plotted on the y-axis
---------------
Let +W+ = wages/wk earned
Let +h+ = hours/wk worked
The equation is:
+W+=+11h+
The domain is 0 to 30
( no hrs worked to 30 hrs worked )
The range is 0 to 330
( no wages eared to +11%2A30+=+330+ earned )
