A real estate sales agent receives a salary of $250 per week plus a commission of 2% of sales. Write an equation that gives the weekly income y in terms of sales x.

The equation y=0.02x+250 gives the weekly income y in terms of sales x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weekly salary of real estate agent = $250

Commission rate = 2%

Let,

x be the sales per week.

y be the total weekly income.

Amount of commission = 2% of sales per week

Amount of commission =

Amount of commission = 0.02x

Total weekly income = Amount of commission + Weekly salary

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
