Aisha Mcclain · Answer 1

The equation for this problem can be modeled in y = mx + b form.

m represents the rate of change and b represents the initial value or constant.

y = 10x + 20

x represents the number of hours he spent delivering newspapers

y is his total money after whatever number of hours he worked

The rate is 10, because it determines how much money he earns for each hour.

The y-intercept is 20, representing the starting amount of money in his bank account.
