1 answer:

8 0

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{8-5}{-1-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{-3}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=-1(x-2)$

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To create a table like that, you can have two columns. One labeled "Number of People" and the other "Price in Dollars." Since each ticket costs $9.50, the cost for one person must also be $9.50. For two people it would be $19.00 (9.50×2), and so on. The cost of the tickets are proportional to the amount of people. This is because the tickets sell at a constant rate, also know as the constant of proportionality, which in this case is 9.50.
