ivy is graphing how much money she eams for each hour of babysitting. she finds that the data tends to be linear and draws a line that passes
through the points (2, 17) and (5, 42.50) about how much does ivy earn per hour?

Ivy earns 8.5 money per hour for babysitting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is linear and it clearly represents the following information:

(2,17) shows 2 hours = 17 money

(5,42.5) shows 5 hours = 42.5 money

So, to find the money for 1 hour let us assume as "X" money per hour.

Using the rate formula,

Money per Hour= Total money/Total hours

X money/1 hr= 59.5 money/7 hours

X= 8.5 money/hour

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
