Answer:

  (a) $17 per hour

  (b) $16 per hour

  (c) Samantha earns $1 more per hour than Thomas

  (d) see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Samantha's hourly rate is most easily computed using the values $170 for 10 hours work.

  $170/(10 h) = $17/h

Samantha earns $17 per hour.

__

(b)

Thomas's hourly rate is the coefficient of x in his earnings equation. When x=1, y=16, meaning Thomas earns $16 for each hour of work.

__

(c)

17 is more than 16, so Samantha earns more per hour. She earns $17 -16 = $1 more per hour than Thomas.

__

(d)
