Question 568501
Let x = # of hours and y = total pay



Notice how as x increases by 2, y increases by 16. So the change is 16/2 = 8, which means that the slope is 8. So {{{m=8}}}



Now when x = 4, y = 32. So use this info to find b in {{{y=mx+b}}}



{{{y=mx+b}}}



{{{32=(8)(4)+b}}}



{{{32=32+b}}}



{{{32-32=b}}}



{{{0=b}}}



{{{b=0}}}



So the equation is {{{y=8x+0}}} or simply {{{y=8x}}}
