- Write an equation: y = 3.50x + 28.50
- In this situation:
- The x variable represents the number of food/ride tickets Joel buys.
- The y variable represents the total amount of money Joel spends at the fair.
- Complete the table:
- x: 0, y: 28.50
- x: 2, y: 35.50
- x: 6, y: 49.50
- x: 10, y: 63.50
- x: 14, y: 77.50
- Graph the situation: Plot the points (0, 28.50), (2, 35.50), (6, 49.50), (10, 63.50), (14, 77.50) and draw a straight line through them.
- Is this relationship proportional or non proportional? Why? Non proportional, because the line does not pass through the origin (0,0); there is a fixed cost (admission) even when no tickets are bought.
- If Joel wanted to purchase 25 food/ride tickets, how much money would he be spending in total at the State Fair? $116.00
