Linear equation

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and m is the y intercept.

Let y represent the total cost of hiring for x hours. Hence:

  • Using the points (0, 125) and (15, 950)

[tex]Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{950-125}{15-0} =55[/tex]

The rate of change is $55 per hour. The means that the hourly rate of the designer is $55 per hour
