M = number of miles
m = 2.7 is plugged into the equation to get
C = 0.20*m + 2.00
C = 0.20*2.7 + 2.00
C = 0.54 + 2.00
C = 2.54
The cost is $2.54
$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50
It is given that b = 82
Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50
or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50
$10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00
Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets
Okay so first off the equation of a line is
Y=mx+b
m= the slope
b= the y intercept
The Y intercept of this line is 2 and the slope is 5/3! You know this is the slope because if you start at point a and go up 5 and to the right 3, you end up at point b.
The equation for this line would be y=5/3x+2
The equation will be y=-5/9x+16/3
