Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate pay when (x = 0)

Base pay is ($100). So when (x=0), (P=100 + 20\times0=$100)

Step2: Calculate pay when (x = 1)

(P=100+20\times1 = 100 + 20=$120)

Step3: Calculate pay when (x = 2)

(P=100+20\times2=100 + 40=$140)

Step4: Calculate pay when (x = 3)

(P=100+20\times3=100+60=$160)

Step5: Derive the equation

The general form of a linear equation is (P=mx + b), where (m) is the slope (rate of change) and (b) is the (y) - intercept. Here, (m = 20) (commission per computer) and (b = 100) (base pay). So the equation is (P=20x + 100)

Answer:

Number of Computers Sold Violet's Daily Pay in Dollars
(0) (100)
(1) (120)
(2) (140)
(3) (160)

The equation is (P = 20x+100)
