1.) First plug in the values for m and A:

--> 
Isolate b: 
b = 1999
So your answer is the first option.
2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be
.
Y= 3X + 1. Perpendicular means you would change the slope by flipping it and changing the sign. So the slope then becomes 3. Then you use your points to find the y-intercept by filling in the variables. 7=3(2) + B. 7=6 + B. Then subtract 6 from both sides. B=1. Then you just put your problem back into slope intercept form with your new slope and y-intercept. Y=3x + 1.
Answer:
-0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable
x= -1/4
