Question

For the following situation, (a) write an equation in the form y=mx+b, (b) find and interpret the ordered pair associated with the equation for x=5, and (c) answer the question. A ticket for a show costs $114.50. A parking pass costs $11. Let x represent the number of tickets and y represent the cost. How much does it cost for 4 tickets and a parking pass?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} m=\text{\$}114.5 \\ b=\text{\$ 11} \\ A) \\ The\text{ equation is } \\ y=114.5x+11 \\ \\ B) \\ x=5 \\ y=114.5x+11 \\ y=114.5(5)+11 \\ y=583.5 \\ The\text{ ordered pair associated with the equation for x=5 is \lparen5,583.5\rparen.} \\ This\text{ pair indicates that 5 tickets for the show with a parking pass cost} \\ \text{\$583.5} \\ \\ C) \\ x=4 \\ y=114.5x+11 \\ y=114.5(4)+11 \\ y=469 \\ The\text{ cost for 4 tickets and a parking pass is \$ 469} \end{gathered}`
