Question

Seth's father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $25. With the pass, movies cost $2

each.
Write a linear equation to represent the total cost spent of Seth seeing movies for the next 6 months.

Answer 1

Y=2x + 25 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: y = 2x+25

x = number of movies

y = total cost

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting cost is $25, which is the amount spent even if no movies are watched.

Since x is the number of movies, and each costs $2, this means Seth spends an extra 2x dollars more on top of the $25 already spent.

In total, the cost is 2x+25 which leads to y = 2x+25

This linear equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = 2 = slope

b = 25 = y intercept
