Question

Evan is going to the 50th state fair this weekend, it cost $10 to enter and each ride is $2. Create a linear function that could be used to determine how many "x" rides Evan can go in. What does the variable "y" represent?​

Answer 1

y represents the total amount he spent in x amount of rides+ the $10 fee.

Explanation:

At x=0, y=10 because he needs to pay $10 to enter, and he haven't rode on anything yet.

x=1, y=12

x=2, y=14

x=3, y=16

... and so on.
