The amount charged is an illustration of a linear equation.

Tina charges $39 for 4 hours

The given parameters are:

[tex]Base = 15[/tex] --- amount charged for the first hour

[tex]Rate = 8[/tex] --- amount charged for the extra hours

If Tina babysits for 4 hours, it means that:

  • She will charge $15 for the first hour
  • $8 for the extra 3 hours

So, the total charges is:

[tex]Total = 15 + 3 \times 8[/tex]

[tex]Total = 15 + 24[/tex]

[tex]Total = 39[/tex]

The ordered pair is (4,39)

It means that:

She charges $39 for 4 hours
