Eric earns a weekly salary and a commission on each item that he sells. The equation y is equal to 10 x plus 50 represents the amount of money that Eric earns weekly. Bailey earns a greater weekly salary than Eric but the same commission rate. Which graph could represent the amount of money that Bailey earns weekly, y , based on the number of items sold, x ?
Answer
A
Image with description A first-quadrant graph is titled Bailey's Weekly Earnings. The x-axis goes from 0 to 10 by ones and is labeled Items Sold. The y-axis goes from 0 to 250 by twenty-fives and is labeled Total Earned. A line passes through a point at (0 comma 75), a point at (5 comma 125), and a point at (10 comma 175).
B
Image with description A Cartesian coordinate graph shows a linear relationship on a grid. The vertical axis is labeled "Total earned" and y, with grid lines at 25-unit intervals and labeled values of 25, 75, 125, 175, 225, and 250. The horizontal axis is labeled "Items sold" and x, with grid lines at 1-unit intervals and labeled values of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. A straight line with an arrowhead at the upper-right end rises from left to right, indicating a constant rate of increase. Solid circular markers on the line are located at (0 comma 75), (1 comma 100), (2 comma 125), (3 comma 150), (4 comma 175), (5 comma 200), and (6 comma 225).
