Q:

Afan pays $875 for 3 premium seat tickets. Another fan pays $2125 for 8 premium seat tickets. Write a linear model for the cost of premium seat tickets based on thenumber of tickets a fan buys.Use C to represent the cost and t represent the number of tickets purchased.(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in slope-intercept form. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)

Accepted Solution

A:
The equation is : C=250t +125 where C is the cost and t represent the number of tickets purchased.Step-by-step explanation:Let the cost of premium seat ticket be CLet the number of tickets a fan buys to be tThen, presenting the information as ordered pairs of coordinates (x,y) will be;Fan 1, (3,875)Fan 2, (8,2125)Plot the ordered pairs as coordinates on a graph tool, find the slope of the linear graph and equation in slope intercept form as;m=Δy/Δxm=2125-875/8-3m=1250/5m=250Equation of the graph,Δy/Δx=250y-875/x-3 =250y-875=250(x-3)y-875=250x-750y=250x-750+875y=250x+125C=250t +125 where C is the cost and t represent the number of tickets purchasedLearn MoreSlope-intercept form equation: : slope-intercept form,cost#LearnwithBrainly
