Question

Ivy is graphing how much money she eams for each hour of babysitting. She finds that the data tends to be linear and draws a line that passes
through the points (2, 17) and (5, 42.50) About how much does ivy earn per hour?

Answer 1

Ivy earns 8.5 money per hour for babysitting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is linear and it clearly represents the following information:

(2,17) shows 2 hours = 17 money

(5,42.5) shows 5 hours = 42.5 money

So, to find the money for 1 hour let us assume as "X" money per hour.

Using the rate formula,

Money per Hour= Total money/Total hours

X money/1 hr= 59.5 money/7 hours

X= 8.5 money/hour
