Answer: y = - 0.4 x - 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation y=mx+b

m is the slope

x is *ANY* x coordinate

y is *ANY* y coordinate

b is y intercept or WHERE the point is on the Y AXIS

Lets look at the given:

Slope (m) is -2/5

Passes through point 15, -9/2

As you can see, the point goes through the Y axis at (-9/2)

Our equation is y = - 0.4 x - 4.5

In an auditorium, a charity show is conducted in order to raise at least $3,750. The auditorium can accommodate up to 180 specta

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x,\ x\ge 0$ be the number of students and $y,\ y\ge 0$ be the number of adults on the show.

1. Tickets cost $15 for students, so x student tickets cost $15x.

Tickets cost $25 for adults, so y adult tickets cost $25y.

Total cost of all tickets is $(15x + 25y).

The charity show is conducted in order to raise at least $3,750, thus

$15x+25y\ge 3,750$

2. The auditorium can accommodate up to 180 spectators, hence

$x+y\le 180$

3. We get the system of inequalities:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x\ge 0\\y\ge 0\\x+y\le 180\\15x+25y\ge 3,750\end{array}\right.$

Plot all solutions sets to each inequality and the common region is the solution set to the system of inequalities. This region is not empty, so the charity will reach its goal. For example, if they sell 50 students tickets and 125 adult tickets, they will raise $\$(15\cdot 50+25\cdot 125)=\$3,875$
