You can put this solution on YOUR website! A salesperson earns $ a month plus a %= commission on every item sold.
a. Write a linear model that gives the salesperson's total monthly pay in dollars, , in terms of the value, , of the items sold.
b. Use the model to find the monthly pay if the salesperson sells $ worth of items.
first find % of $
$
so, ...the monthly pay
c. what is the slope of the line? what does it represent?
the slope represents the rate of monthly pay over commission
slope-intercept form: where is slope and is y-intercept
in your case the slope
d. what is the y-intercept of the line? what does it represent?
is y-intercept which represents the point where the line of your graph intersects the
Since the y-axis is located at , you can get it by plugging in for :
=>
