Kyra earns $18 per hour at her job. Is her gross pay a linear function of the number of hours she works? Explain your reasoning. Gross means before any deductions have been taken. Yes, the amount of money that Kyra earns for every hour of work is $18, so the growth rate is constant.No, the amount of money that Kyra earns for every hour of work varies, so the growth rate is not constant.

Identify the growth rate and initial value. It is possible for the numeric value of the growth rate or the initial value to equal 0, but there would still be a unit.

Growth rate	---Select--- dollars hours per dollar dollars per hour hours
Initial value	---Select--- dollars per hour hours dollars hours per dollar

Using h for the number of hours Kyra works and P for her gross pay, find a formula for P as a linear function of h.
