Question

The table shows the amount x (in hours) of time you spend at a theme park and the admission fee y (in dollars) to the park. The points represented by the table lie on a line. Find and interpret the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is that the SLOPE OF THE LINE IS 0 and that a good way to intepret the problem is by saying this:The admission fee will always be $54.99 irrespective of the amount of hours spent.

Answer 2

`Slope = 0`

Explanation:

Given

The table (missing from the question) are:

x ---------- y

6 ---------- 54.99

7 ---------- 54.99

8 ---------- 54.99

Solving for the slope of the line:

Take any two points on table, we have:

`(x_1,y_1) = (6,54.99)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (8,54.99)`

The slope is calculated as thus:

`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

`m = (54.99 - 54.99)/(8 - 6)`

`m = (0)/(2)`

`m = 0`

The slope of the line is 0

And this implies that, the admission fee is independent of the amount of time spent.

i.e. The admission fee will always be $54.99 irrespective of the amount of hours spent.
