Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: a $500 raise in salary each year.

A linear model

Explanation:

The type of model that best fits the situation of a $500 raise in a salary each year is a linear model.

In a linear model, the dependent variable changes a constant amount for constant increments of the independent variable.

In the given case, the dependent variable is the salary and the independent variable is the year.

You may build a table to show that for increments of 1 year the increments of the salary is $500:

Year         Salary        Change in year         Change in salary

2010           A                           -                                       -

2011           A + 500     2011 - 2010 = 1          A + 500 - 500 = 500

2012          A + 1,000   2012 - 2011 = 1          A + 1,000 - (A + 500) = 500

So, you can see that every year the salary increases the same amount ($500).

In general, a linear model is represented by the general equation y = mx + b, where x is the change of y per unit change of x, and b is the initial value (y-intercept).              

In this case m = $500 and b is the starting salary: y = 500x + b.

The academic affairs council is the highest expert body processing academic affairs, as stipulated by the university statutes. specialist aaro häkkinen (educational policy) took part in the council’s meeting. the agenda of the meeting included bachelors’ feedback, the timing of pedagogical studies, the grant system for tuition fees, the standardisation of administrative practices for internships and the situation of foreign-language and multilingual master’s programmes.
