  1. Solution: From the graph and table:

    • Hector’s slope (earnings rate) is $15 per hour.
    • To find Geri’s hourly rate, divide the earnings in the table by the corresponding hours. For example, $51 for 6 hours gives $51 / 6 = $8.50 per hour.

    Correct Answer: 2. Hector earns $6.50 more per hour than Geri.

    Explanation: Hector’s hourly rate ($15) minus Geri’s hourly rate ($8.50) is $6.50, meaning Hector earns $6.50 more per hour than Geri.
