© The Visual Classroom 2.5a Linear Models Jennifer has a babysitting job for the summer and makes $6 per hour plus an additional $15 per day to cover her traveling expenses. We can model this situation by the following equation. A = 6h + 15 A = amount earned per day h = hours worked

© The Visual Classroom HoursAmount Make a table of values. A = 6h h (0) + 15 = 15 6(1) + 15 = 21 6(2) + 15 = 27 6(3) + 15 = 33 6(4) + 15 = 39 6(5) + 15 = 45 6(6) + 15 = 51 6(7) + 15 = 57 6(8) + 15 = 63

© The Visual Classroom A = 6h + 15 Sketch the graph hours worked amount earned What would happen to the shape of the graph if she made $7/hour but her traveling expenses stayed the same? Steeper slope What would the equation of the new line be? A = 7h + 15

© The Visual Classroom A = 6h + 15 Sketch the graph hours worked amount earned What would happen to the shape of the graph if she made $6/hour but her traveling expenses were $20 per day? Same slope but the A-intercept would be higher. What would the equation of the new line be? A = 6h + 20
