17. A salesperson earns a base monthly salary of $2000 plus a 10% commission on sales. The salesperson's
monthly income I (in dollars) is given by the function I(s) = 0.1s + 2000, where s is the sales (in
dollars) that the salesperson makes. Sketch a graph to illustrate each situation using the graph of
I(s) = 0.1s + 2000 as a reference.

A. The salesperson's base salary is increased.

B. The salesperson's commission rate is decreased.

Answer 1

The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.

The possible functions in the two scenarios are: $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$ and $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}$

The function is given as:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2000}$

When the base salary is increased, a possible function is:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$

This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000

When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}$

This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1

So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:

$\mathbf{I(s) = 0.1s + 2500}$ and $\mathbf{I(s) = 0.05s + 2000}$

See attachment for the graphs of both functions
