Answer:

Since each Ticket cost $45 , then the number of ticket sold should be multiplied by the cost of 1 ticket , from the question, it was said that x tickets were sold, i.e the amount will be $45 multiplied by x , which is $45x. To find the profit , then we must find the cost of 18 tickets which will give us the cost price and then subtract it from the selling price ($45x).

The cost of 18 = 18 x $45 = $ 810

profit = $45x - 810

i.e y = 45x -810

clearly, comparing with the equation y = mx +c , we have a slope and y-intercept
