403010Pa2 4 8 10Number of ticketsThe graph shows the cost of buying raffle tickets.19. write an equation shows the cost y in terms of the number of tickets x?Equation:

Answer 1

Simple..

you have y which is the cost of the tickets..and you have x which is the number of tickets..

So, you have those points on the graph....find an equation!

Take any of those coordinates..and find the equation of the line...in the form of y=mx+b

(2,10) and (5,25)

Using:
`( y_(1)- y_(2) )/( x_(1)- x_(2) )`


`(10-25)/(2-5) = (-15)/(-3) =5`

Thus, you know your slope. m=5

But, remember it's in the form of y=mx+b

So, use any of the coordinates...let's use (2,10)

10=5(2)+b

10=10+b

0=b

Thus, your equation is... y=5x

Thus, your answer.
