Joshua was offered a job that paid a salary of \$77,500$77,500 in its first year. The salary was set to increase by 2% per year every year. If Joshua worked at the job for 5 years, what was the total amount of money earned over the 5 years, to the nearest whole number?

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
