Question

For a recent year, children's admission to the Minnesota State Fair was $12. Ride tickets were $1.84 each. The equation y= 1.84x+12 represented the cost, y, in the dollars to be admitted to the fair and to purchase x ride tickets. Part: 0/3 Part 1 of 3 (a) Determine the slope of the line represented by y= 1.84x+12. Interpret the meaning of the slope in the context of this problem. The slope is 0,12 The slope means that the cost increases by $ per ride.
Please explain what I'm suppose to do to solve this equation, I'm completely lost on what to do first.​

Answer 1

The slope of line is 1.84 and slope states increase in cost per ride.

The straight line is generally represented by the equation -> y = mx + c. In this equation, y is y intercept, m is slope, x is x intercept and c is constant. In the given equation, m is 1.84 and hence it is the slope. $12 is one time fees and hence is represented as constant in the equation. Additionally, in the equation y will represent the total cost.

The slope indicates the amount by which the cost of ride will increase. On addition of each ride, $1.84 will increase. In the equation, x is the number of rides. So, multiplication of cost of each ride with number of rides will give the amount spent on ride.
