Answer:
C) For each hour worked the dollars earned increases by $5
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't have the context of the problem.
However, we do know that in math, when we have an equation of the form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], the slope m represents the rate of change. This means, how much one quantity changes in regards to other quantity (from the options I can assume that we are talking about amount earned and hours worked).
Thus, in this case we have [tex]m=5[/tex] and this tells us how much the payment increase in terms of hours worked. Thus, we can say that for each work we work the payment increases by $5.
Thus, the correct answer is c) For each hour worked the dollars earned increases by $5
