Question

PLAESE HELP ASAP!!!

The yearly cost in dollars, y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = 1/10 x + 60 for a member and y = 1/5 x for a nonmember.

Explain how the graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will differ from the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Answer 1

The graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will be steeper, but start lower than the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Explanation:

Answer 2

see the explanation

The graph in the attached figure

Explanation:

Let

x -----> total game tokens purchased

y ----> yearly cost in dollars

we have

Member

`y=(1)/(10)x+60` -----> equation A

Nonmember

`y=(1)/(5)x` -----> equation B

we know that

The equation A represent a linear equation in slope intercept form. The line A does have a y-intercept equal $60 (initial value or membership fee) and the slope is m=$(1/10) per game token purchased

The equation B represent a proportional relationship between the variables x and y. The line B passes through the origin and the slope is m=$(1/5) per game token purchased

using a graphing tool
