p = 8.50 + 0.75y

Step-by-step explanation:

Katelyn's job pays $8.50 per hour rate.

If her job reviews are favorable she can expect an annual pay rate increase of $0.75.

Therefore, in the 2nd year her pay rate will be $ (8.50 + 0.75) = $9.25 per hour.

And in the 3rd year her pay rate will be $ (8.50 + 0.75 * 2) = $10 per hour.

So, after y years her pay rate per hour will be given by p = 8.50 + 0.75y.

This is the equation that represents the relationship between years on the job, y, and pays per hour, p. (Answer)
