Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
y = 7x + 3
<u>Step 2: Break Function</u>
<em>Identify Parts</em>
Slope <em>m</em> = 7
y-intercept <em>b</em> = 3
Use algebra to set up 2 equations.
Assign c as number of tickets for CATS and w for number of tickets of WICKED
c + w = 2700
c / w = 7 / 11
Then solve for one of them in the first equation
c = 2700 - w
Then put this value for c into the 2nd equation
(2700 - w) / w = 7 / 11
Now cross multiply the numerator by denominator of both numerator and denominator pairs
7w = 11 x (2700 - w)
7w = 29700 - 11w
Now solve for w
7w = 26700 - 11w
Add +11w to both sides
18w = 29700
Now divide by 18 on both sides
w = 1650
Then c is the remainder of that ... 2700 - 1650 = 1050
You can also check because 7 / 11 = 1050 / 1650
1 inch = 13.5 feet
5 inches = 5 * 13.5 = 67.5 feet
