Part 1 – First, read over this example:
A sales job offers a weekly base salary of $575 plus a commission of $250 for every sale made that week. The weekly earnings for a salesperson can be modeled:
y = 250x + 575
where x (the independent variable) is the number of sales made during the week and y (the dependent variable) is the total earnings of the salesperson for the week.
Using this example as a model, go online and find another real-world application of a linear equation in 2 variables.
Share this equation and discuss what is being modeled as well as what the independent and dependent variables represent, in context. If the example you find uses variables other than x and y, be sure to use x and y instead and write the equation in y = mx+b form.
You may use an example from an educational resource, such as Khan Academy or something similar. Be sure to cite this resource at the bottom of your initial post in proper APA format.
In addition, graph the linear equation using
