n. As he sells tickets, he records the number of tickets he has sold and the total amount of money in the box. Some of his data is shown below:
Number of tickets sold Total money in box(dollars)

7 108.75
13 146.25
18 177.50

Assuming all the tickets are the same price, write an equation that represents the situation above. Explain how to use your equation to determine the amount of money originally in the box before any tickets were sold and the price of each ticket.

The price of each ticket will be the slope found from the data.  

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(177.5-146.25)/(18-13)

m=6.25  (so the cost of the tickets is $6.25)

Now we can use any data point to solve for b, or the y-intercept of the line:

y=6.25x+b, using (177.5, 18)

177.5=6.25(18)+b

b=$65.00d

So he started with $65.00

How do you find percentage lost
Helen [10]
First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)

How do i make 1\2x-y=4 into slope intercept form
kari74 [83]
Simple, since you want to find y, in y=mx+b form, move everything to the other side.

1/2x-y=4

Move 1/2x

1/2x-y=4
-1/2x     -1/2x

Making it look like,

-y=4-1/2x

Divide by the negative 1 in front of the y,

-y=4-1/2x
/-1    /-1

y=-4+1/2x

or 

y=1/2x-4

Thus, this written in y=mx+b form, y=1/2x-4.

4 × 750 = 3 L so it will take 3 minutes for 4 canteens and
2 × 1.5 = 3 L it will also take 3 minutes
total it will take 6 minutes.
