Answer: y=3/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to find the equation, we can figure out that the cost depends on how many tickets are bought. We can use cost as our y and # of tickets as our x.
An equation in slope intercept form is as follows:
y=mx+b
To get our slope, we must figure out the relationship between the cost and the number of tickets, or the y and the x.
We can use the slope formula, [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex], to find the slope, m.
[tex]\frac{3-6}{2-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Thus, the slope of the equation is 3/2, making our final equation be y=3/2x.
