Question

Fun times Amusement Park Charges a $7 admission fee plus $1.75 per ride. What is the equation, in intercept form for calculating the total cost, C, of going to the park and riding r rides?1. C = 1.75 + 7r2. C = 1.75r3. C = 7r4. C = 7 + 1.75r

Answer 1

The general form of an equation in intercetp form is:

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the change of y in function of x and b is the value of b when x is 0

In this situation you have:

y=C

x=r

m= 1.75 ( C increase 1.75 each r)

b= 7 (When there is not ride r=0 the admission fee is 7)

Then, you have the equation:
`C=1.75r+7`or C = 7 + 1.75r
