Ming is paid an hourly rate. One week he earned $157.50 by working 30 hours. If he works 35 hours the next week, how much will he earn

$183.75

Step-by-step explanation:

first let's find out the hourly rate. divide 157.5/30

=$5.25 per hour

now multiply that by 35

5.25*35

=183.75

∴he will earn $183.75 by working 35 hours.

b is the answer that makes most sense

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
