Okay so I need to know how to find the slope to this problem. I already have the answer I just need to know how to get there.
-An employee is paid $8.50 per hour plus $2 for each unit produced per hour. Graph and determine the slope(m) .

isn't a line supposed to be y= mx +b
so 8.50 is ur slope, 2 is your y intercept...isn't 8.50 = 8 1/2 = 17/2...?
insert #'s and figure out where to plot ur points... ta da!

i think it should be:
y = 2x + 8.50
x = the units that the employee produces every hour
y = amount of money get every hour
so your slope should be 2
and the graph is a simple linear line
