Question

The first year a baseball team debuted, one ticket cost 25$ After that, the price increased 2$ every year Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form that can be used to model the cost y of a ticket x years after the first year.

Answer 1

• Priliminary price=25$ ,This is fixed
• Increasing price every year=2$=slope(m)
• b=25

Equation in slope intercept form

• y=mx+b
• y=2x+25

Answer 2

Equation: y = 2x + 25

Explanation:

Here x determines the number of year. For the first year,we will see ( 2 * 1 ) = $2 increase. In the second year, ( 2 * 2 ) =$4 increase and like this goes on, whereas the $25 being constant. "y" determines the total cost for each year.

Therefore the equation can be made: y = 2x + 25
