Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the following:
a) y=0.25x+7
b) $10.75
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form.
B is our Y intercept meaning any fee or initial charge that adds to total cost. In this situation, the initial fee of $7 is our Y-Intercept. . Our mx is the slope. A slope increases based on the amount (x) of certain things you have. In this situation, you are buying maybe 1, 2 or 3 tickets and each ride costs $0.25.
Our x remains the same, that is where we plugin the amount of tickets we will buy (x). The M value is the price per ticket which as said, is $0.25 per. Our slope therefore will be 0.25x.
Combining our Y-Intercept and our Slope will leave us with y (total cost) = 0.25x + 7
b)
We have found our slope, 0.25x+7
Now, we have to plugin our number of rides (x) which is 15.
If done correctly it should be 0.25(15)+7 and that is equal to $10.75 for 15 rides.
