Answer:

When graphing in this problem we will be graphing the equation y=2x+8, where the 2x represents the fee for each ride, and 8 represents the fee to get in.

When graphing y=2x+8, you 8 is where it is going to be on the y-intercept, so the first step is to put a dot on the 8 on the y-axis. Then from that point (y-intercept) you would go up 2 and over 1, because that is your slope (2x), then you continue on with your slope up 2 and over 1, until you reach the top of your graph.

Hope this helps ;)
