Answer:
k = ⅕
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is
y = mx + b, where
m = the slope and
b = the y-intercept
Data:
(3,4) = a point on the line
(3k,0) = x-intercept
(0,-5k) = y-intercept
Calculations:
1. Slope
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃
This makes the equation
y = ⁵/₃x - 5k
2. k
Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)
4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k
4 = 5 - 5k
-1 = -5k
k = ⅕
The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively

Answer:
2.50t + 350 = 3t + 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the number of tickets that each class needs to sell so that the total amount raised is the same for both classes.
One class is selling tickets for $2.50 each and has already raised $350. This means that the total amount that would be raised from selling t tickets is
2.5t + 350
The other class is selling tickets for $3.00 each and has already raised $225. This means that the total amount that would be raised from selling t tickets is
3t + 225
Therefore, for the total costs to be the same, the number of tickets would be
2.5t + 350 = 3t + 225
