\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-5,4)\qquad B(7,-4)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{1:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies 3A=1B\implies 3(-5,4)=1(7,-4)

(\stackrel{x}{-15}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{12})=(\stackrel{x}{7}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-4})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-15 +7}}{1+3}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{12 -4}}{1+3} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{-8}{4}~~,~~\cfrac{8}{4} \right)\implies P=(-2~~,~~2)

Last year 300 people attended a play with ticket price of $8. The school estimates that 20 fewer people attend for each $1 incre
masya89 [10]

Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

If we stuck with the price of $8, then we end with an income of $2400

Increasing it by $1 will decrease attendance by 20

8 x 300 = 2400

9 x 280 = 2520

10 x 260 = 2600

11 x 240 = 2640

12 x 220 = 2640

13 x 200 = 2600

We're starting to go down, so let's stop there

The ticket price of $11 or $12 appears to give the most income

I would stick with $12 since your still getting more money from one ticket
