An amusement park offers two options. Option 1 involves a $10 admission fee plus $0.50 per ride. Option 2 involves a $6 admissio

Answer:

16 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1 . Admission fee = $10

                Each ride = $0.50

Option 2 . Admission fee = $6

                Each ride = $0.75

Let no. of rides be x

So, cost of ride according to option 1 = 0.50x

So, total cost after having x rides according to option 1 :

= 10+0.50x  ---1

Cost of ride according to option 2 = 0.75x  

So, total cost after having x rides according to option 2 :

= 6+0.75x  --2

Now to find the beak even point i.e. having the same cost

Equate 1 and 2

10+0.50x=6+ 0.75x

10-6= 0.75x-0.50x

4= 0.25x

\frac{4}{0.25} =x

16=x

Thus for 16 rides , the two options have the same cost .

Hence the break even point is 16 rides

Answer:

A line that is perpendicular to y=2/5x-5 must have a slope of -5/2, but a line parallel to line y=5/2x+6 must have a slope of 5/2, and these slopes do not match up.

Explanation:

In order for a line to be parallel to another line, they must have the same slope. In order for a line to be perpendicular to another line, their slopes must be opposite reciprocals (meaning that when they are multiplied, the product is -1). From here you can find what slope the line must have to perpendicular or parallel to another line, and then you can see that the answers to not match up to be the same line!

Hope this helped :)
