Graphing Linear Equations Unit Test 12 of 1912 of 19 Items Question Suppose Zoe worked overtime at her job during a recent pay period, which is considered beyond 40 hours. Let the function P(t)=36t+960 represent the gross pay in dollars for Zoe as a function of the number of overtime hours worked, t . What do the slope and y -intercept of P(t) represent in this situation? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses The slope represents Zoe earning $36 for each hour of overtime. The slope represents Zoe earning $36 for each hour of overtime. The slope represents Zoe earning $36 for each hour worked in the first 40 hours of the pay period. The slope represents Zoe earning $36 for each hour worked in the first 40 hours of the pay period. The y -intercept represents Zoe has $960 of gross pay when she works a total of exactly 40 hours for the pay period. The y-intercept represents Zoe has $960 of gross pay when she works a total of exactly 40 hours for the pay period. The y -intercept represents Zoe has a gross pay of $36 when she works 0 hours for the pay period. The y-intercept represents Zoe has a gross pay of $36 when she works 0 hours for the pay period. The y -intercept represents Zoe has $960 of gross pay when she works 0 hours for the pay period.. No, because the set of all solutions of y=−5x−7 is represented by the line of the equation.
The two correct answers are:
- The slope represents Zoe earning $36 for each hour of overtime.
- The y-intercept represents Zoe has $960 of gross pay when she works a total of exactly 40 hours for the pay period.
