Question

Just some easy algebra 1 stuff

Answer 1

$38,600

Explanation:

First, you need to find the slope of the data given. You can use any two points but it is easiest if you use the first two, (0, 31890) and (1, 32500)

`m=(32500-31890)/(1-0)=610`

Next, since we already know that the y-intercept of the graph is 31,890, we can easily put the data into slope-intercept form y=610x+31890

Now, since the problem asks for the tuition for the 2023-2024 academic year we must figure out how many years after 2012-2013 that school year is. This can easily be found by subtracting 2012 from 2023; 2023-2012=5.

This 5 is not the answer, we must now add it to the 6 from the data table giving us 11 years after the 2012-2013 academic year.

Now plug in 11 to the function

`y=610(11)+31890\\y=38600`

So the answer is $38,600
