Answer 2

a = mh

where m is the rate of income of Maria by babysitting per hour.

Explanation:

Let the amount that Maria makes is $a for babysitting for h hours.

If the rate of income i.e. slope of the graph obtained from plotting the number of hours along the x-axis and her earning in dollars along the y-axis will be given by

`m = (a - 0)/(h - 0)` {Since Maria will make $0 for babysitting for 0 hours}

⇒ a = mh

where m is the rate of income of Maria by babysitting per hour. (Answer)
