- Weekly earnings. At the art gallery where heworks, Salvador gets paid $200 per week plus 15% ofthe sales he makes, so the equation y=120+0.15x gives the amount, y, he earns for selling x dollarsof artwork. Calculate the amount Salvador earns forselling $900, $1600, and $2000, and then graph theline.arrow_forwardIdentify the slope and y-intercept from the equation of the line.
