Answer:
2 / 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the rise over the run.
In this case, the rise is 2 - (-6) = 2 + 6 = 8.
The run is 4 - (-16) = 4 + 16 = 20.
So, the slope is 8 / 20 = 4 / 10 = 2 / 5.

Answer:
$50 per ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
Although it is tempting to keep raising the price for a higher profit, if you raise the price by too much, people will stop buying tickets and you will not gain as much money as you could have gotten with, say, $50 per plate.
The more you raise the price, the less tickets you can sell.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
21. y = 75000·0.935^t
22. after 74.6 days
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t
24. 18.8% per month
25. 1748
Step-by-step explanation:
22. It is convenient to use the graphing calculator to solve this problem. The number of days is where the exponential curve has the value 500. It is about 74.55 days. (see the first attachment)
__
23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t (see the second attachment)
__
24. The rate of change is the difference between the base of the exponential and 1, often expressed as a percentage. The time period is the units of t.
(1.18832 -1) × 100% ≈ 18.8% . . . . per month
__
25. Evaluating the function for t=24 gives y ≈ 1748.30425259 ≈ 1748.
