Answer:
Number 2:
The graph in the question is given below as
The slope of a linear graph is given below using the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ slope=\frac{changeiny}{change\text{ in x}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The y-axis is represented below as
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-axis=total\text{ charges\lparen dollars\rparen} \\ x-axis=time\text{ worked \lparen hours\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} slope=\frac{change\imaginaryI ny}{change\text{\imaginaryI nx}} \\ slope=\frac{changeintotalcharges(dollars)}{change\text{ in time worked\lparen hours\rparen}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence,
The best interpretation of the slope of the graph is
The contractor's hourly rate
