Well First of all let's set up an equation for this problem. It starts off by charging $2 which is our y intercept and for every ride it's .50 cents so that would be our slope. This problem can be put into y=mx+b or as called slope intercept form mx= .50 because is the rate of change and b=2 because it's what we start y=10 because it's what Tamara budget is so the equation would be 10=.50x+2 all we have to do now is solve for x x would be 16 So Tamara can go on 16 rides with $10
