In the given graph, lets mark two points:
Let 
and 
The slope of the line is given by:
The equation of the line is given by:
Therefore, the function equation represented by the graph is: 
It’s 9 but are you serious
Splashtown: 25 + 1x
Schlitterbahn: 40
25 + 1x = 40
-25 -25
0 1x = 15
x = 15
So after 15 rides, Schlitterbahn would be cheaper than Splashtown.
