The initial amount this student is paid is 0 and this can be determined by using the two-point slope form of the line.
Given :
The given table represents the number of hours a student worked and the amount of money the student earned.
The following steps can be used in order to determine the initial amount this student is paid:
Step 1 - The two-point form of the line can be used in order to determine the initial amount this student is paid.
Step 2 - So, the linear equation that represents the given situation is:
[tex]\rm \dfrac{d-50}{h-8}=\dfrac{93.75-50}{15-8}[/tex]
Step 3 - Simplify the above expression.
[tex]\rm \dfrac{d-50}{h-8}=6.25[/tex]
d - 50 = 6.25h - 50
d = 6.25h
Step 4 - Now, substitute the value of (h = 0) in the above expression.
d = 0
Therefore, the correct option is D) There is no base pay.
