Mrs. Adesso wants to take her class on a trip to either the science center or natural history museum. The science center charges

$7 per student, plus $75 for a guided tour. The natural history museum charges $8 per student, plus $50 for a guided tour. For what number of students is the cost of the trip the same at each museum?

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

When we write expressions for the total cost of each field visit and set them equal, we find the solution to be the ratio of the difference in fixed cost to the difference in variable cost.

  y = 75 +7x . . . . . cost for x students to visit the science center

  y = 50 +8x . . . . cost for x students to visit the natural history museum

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  0 = -25 +x

  25 = x . . . . . add 25; the number of students such that costs are equal

The cost will be the same either place for 25 students.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Here, the fixed cost difference is 75-50=25, and the variable cost difference is 8-7=1. The ratio of these costs is ...

  $25/($1 /student) = 25 students.

This relationship only holds when the higher fixed cost is associated with the lower variable cost. Charges are such that one place caters to larger numbers of students (science center), and one prefers fewer students (natural history museum).

need help with this Drag the points to create graphs of linear relationships that have different y-intercepts and slopes of 1/5,
ludmilkaskok [199]

Linear relationships that have different y-intercept and slope of 1/5 is y=1/5 x+25/6.

Given that, the slopes are 1/5, 3/5 and 6/5.

<h3>What is slope of a line?</h3>

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The coordinate points from the given figure are (6, 5), (5, 1) and (4, 3).

Substitute m=1/5 and (x, y)=(6, 5) in y=mx+c, we get

5=1/5 ×6+c

⇒ c=5- 5/6

⇒ c=25/6

Put m=1/5 and c=25/6 in y=mx+c, we get

y=1/5 x+25/6

Substitute m=3/5 and (x, y)=(5, 1) in y=mx+c, we get

1=3/5 ×5+c

⇒ c=-2

Put m=3/5 and c=-2 in y=mx+c, we get

y=3/5 x-2

Substitute m=6/5 and (x, y)=(4, 3) in y=mx+c, we get

3=6/5 ×4+c

⇒ c=3-24/5

⇒ c= -9/5

Put m=6/5 and c= -9/5 in y=mx+c, we get

y=6/5 x-9/5

Therefore, linear relationships that have different y-intercept and slope of 1/5 is y=1/5 x+25/6.
