Answer:
k = ⅕
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is
y = mx + b, where
m = the slope and
b = the y-intercept
Data:
(3,4) = a point on the line
(3k,0) = x-intercept
(0,-5k) = y-intercept
Calculations:
1. Slope
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃
This makes the equation
y = ⁵/₃x - 5k
2. k
Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)
4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k
4 = 5 - 5k
-1 = -5k
k = ⅕
The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively

The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
F(x) = 2^x; h(x) = x^3 + x + 8
Table
x f(x) = 2^x h(x) = x^3 + x + 8
0 2^0 = 1 0 + 0 + 8 = 8
1 2^1 = 2 1^3 + 1 + 8 = 10
2 2^2 = 4 2^3 + 2 + 8 = 8 + 2 + 8 = 18
3 2^3 = 8 3^3 + 3 + 8 = 27 + 3 + 8 = 38
4 2^2 = 16 4^3 + 4 + 8 = 76
10 2^10 = 1024 10^3 +10 + 8 = 1018
9 2^9 = 512 9^3 + 9 + 8 = 729 + 9 + 8 = 746
