Answer: m=-1.714

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

 m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714

A total of 925 tickets were sold for a game for a total of $1150. If adult tickets sold for $2 and children's tickets sold for $
Temka [501]

Answer:

  • Adult: 225
  • Children: 700

Step-by-step explanation:

If all had been children's tickets, revenue would have been $925. Actual revenue is $1150 -925 = $225 more than that. Changing a child's ticket to an adult's ticket add $1 to the revenue, so there must be $225 such changes.

The number of adult tickets is 225; the number of children's tickets is 925-225 = 700.
