A charity organization had to sale 18 tickets to their fundraiser Just to cover necessary production cost.They sold each ticket for $45.Let y represent the net profit in dollars when they have sold x tickets

Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?

Choose 1 answer:

A

Slope and x-intercept

B

Slope and y-intercept

C

Slope and a point that is not an intercept

D

x-intercept and y-intercept

E

y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept

F

Two points that are not intercepts

Answer:

A. Slope and x-intercept

Explanation:

We are told that each Ticket cost $45 , so the number of ticket sold should be multiplied by the cost of 1 ticket , Also; we were informed that x tickets were sold, this implies that the amount will be $45 multiplied by x , which is $45x. To find the profit (y) , then we must find the cost of 18 tickets which will give us the cost price and then subtract it from the selling price ($45x).

NOW:

Given that :

a charity organization had to sell 18 tickets

and one ticket cost for $45

Then 18 tickets = $45 × 18 = $810

Let y represent the net profit in dollars when they have sold x tickets

So : y = 45 x - 810

Relating the above equation with equation of a straight line y = mx +c ,

where :

m and c = the numbers on the gradient line ; &

y = slope

x = intercept where the graph crosses y - axis

Thus; the information given is the :Slope and x-intercept
