Answer:
2(5) + 3 = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
x=5
y=3
2x+y=13
2(5)+3=13
10 +3 =13

The slide costs $2 each time you ride. $15/2 = 7.5 so you can ride it 7 times.
First, we can note that the relation between the independent and the dependent variables is a linear relation.
We will need two points: (1,3) and (2,5)
The general form of the equation of the linear line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
To get the slope, we will use the following rule:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (5-3) / (2-1) = 2
The equation of the line now becomes:
y = 2x + c
To get the value of the c, use any of the given points and substitute in the equation. I will use (1,3) as follows:
y = 2x + c
3 = 2(1) + c
c = 3-2 = 1
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y = 2x + 1
