[quote="Anonymous555"]The equation y = 15x + 500 represents the amount y that Lin earns by working for x hours, plus a performance bonus. What is Lin's hourly rate?
To find Lins performance bonus put in x=0.
That is how much she gets for working no hours.
Now work out how much she will get if she woks 1 hour.
The difference between them will be the hourly rate.
Can you find a short cut to do this.?
