Question

The average price of a movie ticket in the United States from 1980 to 2000 can be modeled by the expression, 2.75+0.10x, where x is the number of years since 1980. Which part of the expression corresponds to the cost of movie tickets in 1980?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find which part of the formula corresponds to the cost of movie tickets in 1980

The expression to find the cost is

2.75 + 0.10x

Now, x is the time since 1980

1980 is thus the starting position. The value of x at this point is 0, we simply thus make a substitution;

2.75 + 0.1(0)

=

2.75
