I assume you want this explained

Answer and explanation:

If the function f ( x ) = 5 x − 320 represents the total amount of funds raised based on the number of tickets sold, x , minus the cost of decorations then x number of tickets is an independent variable here that will determine the total amount of funds raised y(dependent variable)

The y intercept is -320 and the slope is 5

If for example the number of tickets sold = 100 tickets

Total amount of funds using the function :

f(100)= 5×100-320

=500-320

= $180
