Question

Going to the movies cost $9.50 per person. What is the slope of the line that models this situation, if x represents number of people and t represents total cost?​

Answer 1

9.5

Explanation:

The cost of movie tickets is $9.50 per person.

Now, if the variable x represents the number of people and t represents a total cost in dollars, then we can write the equation that models the above situation as

t = 9.5x ......... (1)

From this above two-variable linear equation it is clear that the slope of the line is 9.5. And its unit is dollars per person. (Answer)
