Question

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $70,000. It increased by the same factor each year, and in 2006 the average annual salary was $82,000. Let y represent the average annual salary, in thousand dollars, after x years since 2005. Which of the following best represents the relationship between x and y?

Answer 1

Start the problem by writing down what you know or highlighting the important information.

y= represent the average annual salary after x number of years - Did the question include this info?

2005 the salary was $70,000

2006 the salary was $82,00

$82,000 minus $70,000= $12,000, which represents the annual increase.

So we have y = mx + b

b= the constant(what value did you start with?)

x= the number of years which will change

m= represents increase which is slope

y= annual income which will vary depending on the x-value

Hopefully that help!

Answer 2

y+(x*12000).......................
