What are the coordinated for point P?
What is the independent variable?

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.

With out knowing the functions you have to chose form, this could be one.y = 5.00xx = hours worked and y = the money he will earn.
