Question

question 2 of 10
what type of pay is modeled below?
graph with x-axis (0 - 5) and y-axis (0 - 90), line through origin
a. hourly pay with a bonus
b. hourly pay without a bonus
c. piece rate
d. commission pay

Explanation:

1. Analyze the graph: The line passes through the origin \((0,0)\), meaning when \(x = 0\) (0 hours worked), pay \(y=0\), so no bonus (a bonus would give a non - zero \(y\) - intercept).
2. Check the slope: The slope represents the rate of pay per hour. For example, when \(x = 3\), \(y = 60\), so the rate is \(\frac{60}{3}=20\) per hour, consistent with hourly pay. Options like piece rate (payment per item) or commission pay (payment based on sales) don't match the linear, time - based (x as hours) relationship here.

Answer:

B. Hourly pay without a bonus
