To graph a situation that would involve a linear graph, first determine your x and y axes.
The x-axis will be the independent variable, one that does not change based on other variables. An example is time.
The y-axis, the dependent variable, depends on the independent variable.
The model equation for a linear line is y = mx + b.
"m" is the slope, and the "b" is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the x-axis at x=0).
For example, a situtation could be that Joe starts with $10 in his account and adds $5 every day to his account.
The x-axis is time in days.
The y-axis is amount of money in his account.
The slope, or rate of change is 5.
The y-intercept, the amount of money he has at x=0 (0 days) is $10.
The equation would be y = 5x + 10
To draw this, plot the y-intercept at (0, 10), and the next point would be 5 units up and one unit to the right because the slope is 5, or 5/1 (remember slope is rise over run: "rise" up 5 and "over" to the right 1).

Answer:
Student ticket: $2
Adult ticket: $5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Setting up the system of equations
let x be the cost for a child
let y be the cost for an adult
For the monday, that would be:
33x + 42y = 276
For the tuesday, you ahve
46x + 40y = 292
2. Solving
First, simplify each equation
33x + 42y = 276
To get all the numbers smaller divide both sides by 3
11x + 14y = 92
Do the same for the other equation:
46x + 40y = 292
divide both sides by 2
23x + 20y = 146
You want to use elimination, so take the equation 11x + 14y = 92 and multiply both sides by 10
110x + 140y = 920
Take the equation 23x + 20y = 146 and multiply both sides by 7
161x + 140y = 1022
Subtract the two equations:
110x + 140y = 920
- (161x + 140y = 1022)
-51x = -102
divide both sides by -51
x = 2
Plug this into the original equation, 11x + 14y = 92:
11 * 2 + 14y = 92
22 + 14y = 92
subtract 22 from both sides
14y = 70
divide both sides by 14
y = 5
So the cost of a student ticket is $2 and the cost of an adult ticket is $5
