Question

Lindsay gets paid $15 per hour at her job. If we let s be her salary and h be the number of hours she has worked, write an equation that represents the direct variation.

Answer 1

A linear function or a direct variation function is represented by:

`y=kx`

where k is the constant rate of chante, in this case $15 per hour.

s=y= salary of Lindsay

h=x= hours she has worked

Then, the equation that represents the situation would be:

`s=15h`
