Question 427412
John began his job making $25 the first day. After that he was paid $6.75 per hour. Write the linear equation for this problem in y=mx+b

On the first day, the "fixed" salary is $25. It mean that b = 25

On the next days, he was paid by the hours that he works. So the salary may be changed depends on how many hours that he works.

the slope is m = 6.75

Let x be the number of hours that he works

so we have the linear equation to represent his salary (y)

y = 6.75x + 25
