Question

The state fair charges $14 for

admission. Each ride costs $6.What is
the function that relates the amount
spent, S, to the number of rides, r?

Answer 1

`s=6r+14`

Explanation:

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

`s=mr+b`

where

m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope is equal to

`m=\$6\ per\ ride`

The y-intercept is equal to

`b=\$14`

so

substitute the given values

`s=6r+14`
