Thom earns $12.40 per hour at the
yankee bowling alley. he regularly
works 40 hours per week. he is paid
time and a half for each our of overtime
work. last week he worked 42 hours.
what was his gross pay for the week?

$3,645.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1hr=$12.4

42hrs=x

x=$520.8×7 =$3,645.6

The equation y= 2x-2 follows the same form as y=mx+b. In y=mx+b, the letter "b" represents the y-intercept. The letter "m" represents the slope.

To solve this try writing the equation underneath y=mx+b:
y=mx+b
y=2x-2 

From this we can see, m=2 and b=(-2) (it is negative because 2 is being subtracted rather than added).

Another way to find the y-intercept is pluging in 0 for x into the equation.This is because the y intercept is the y vale on a point where x=0.

y=2x-2
y=2(0)-2
y=0-2
y=-2
