Abigail is a waitress at a restaurant. Each day she works, Abigail will make a guaranteed wage of $25, however the additional amount that Abigail earns
from tips depends on the number of tables she waits on that day. From past
experience, Abigail noticed that she will get about $11 in tips for each table
she waits on. How much would Abigail expect to earn in a day on which she
waits on 17 tables? How much would Abigail expect to make in a day when
waiting on t tables?

$212

25 + 11t

Step-by-step explanation:

Total wage = fixed wage + variable wage

Fixed wage = $25

Variable wage depends on tips from a number of tables

Abigail gets $11 in tip per table

Let t = number of tables

Variable wage = 11t

Total wage = 25 + 11t

How much would Abigail expect to earn in a day on which she

waits on 17 tables?

Total wage = 25 + 11t

= 25 + 11(17)

= 25 + 187

= $212

Abigail will earn a total of $212 if she waits on 17 tables each day

How much would Abigail expect to make in a day when

waiting on t tables?

Total wage = 25 + 11t

When t = t

Total wage = 25 + 11t

Abigail will earn a total of 25 + 11t if she waits on t tables each day

need points to ask question

step-by-step explanation:

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
