Question

The yearly cost in dollars, y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = y equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction x plus 60.x + 60 for a member and y = y equals StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction x. x for a nonmember. Explain how the graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will differ from the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will be steeper, but start lower than the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of a nonmember’s yearly cost will be steeper, but start lower than the graph of a member’s yearly cost.

Answer 2

Answer:

The members slope is flatter by half compared to the non-members slope. The graphs intersect at 600 tokens and $120. Until that point the cost for non-members is less than the cost for members. After 600 tokens the cost for members is less than the cost for non-members.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope I have your equations correct:

Member:

y = 1/10x + 60

Non-Member:

y = 1/5x
