Crystal earns $5.50 per hour mowing lawns.
a. write a rule to describe how the amount of money m earned is a function of the number of hours h spent mowing lawns.
b. how much does crystal earn if she works 3 hours and 45 minutes?

a :

b : $20.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Crystal earns $5.50 per hour mowing lawns.

a. Write a rule to describe how the amount of money m earned is a function of the number of hours h spent mowing lawns.

when we will put the value of 'h' in the function, we will get the total money earned while working at the rate of $5.50 per hour.

b. How much does Crystal earn if she works 3 hours and 45 minutes?

45 minutes = hours.

So, total hours are hours

Hence, money earned in 3.75 hours = dollars.

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
