Question

Determine the rate of change and what the rate of change represents in this situation.

Answer 1

The first answer is the one you want

Explanation:

The rate of change is the slope. Here it is represented by the dollar value/number of tickets sold. This will give you the 1:1 ratio, meaning it will give you the number of dollars generated by the sale of 1 ticket. That's what rate of change is.

Use the slope formula and 2 points on the table. I chose the points (225, 250) and (200, 0):

`(0-250)/(200-225) =(-250)/(-25) =10`

That translates to $10 per ticket.
