100 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST! PLEASE HURRY ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.
The weekly paycheck amount for each salesman, p, is a function of the number of sales, s, they had in that week.
What is the slope of the function representing the weekly paycheck amount for Salesman A? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning, or show your calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:
■For A,
p= Rs. 65s+1300 ( as he earns Rs.65 for each sale and a commission of 1300).
■For B,
p = Rs. 40s + 300( His commission is 40 for each sale and a salary of 300).
■For C,
p= Rs.900(which is a constant, So p for C is not a function of s, and will represent a straight line parallel to x-axis which is s)
Now plot these lines in the p-s curve by putting different values of s and corresponding values of p.
Peace Out!
→ For A,
p = $ 65s + $ 1300 (as he earns $ 65 for each sale and commission of $ 1300)
→ For B,
p = $ 40s + $ 300 (His commission is $ 40 for each sale and a salary of $ 300)
→ For C,
p = $ 900 (which is constant, So p for C is not a function of s, and will represent a straight line parallel to x - axis which is s.)
Now plot these lines in the p-s curve by putting different values of s and corresponding values of p.

Graph the three equations you just wrote for each salesman if they have between 0 and 20 sales in a week. Graph all three equations on the same graph . Make sure you label each line with the salesman it represents, as well as label the axes.
Note: The independent variable is s, and the dependent variable is p.
