Athrill ride at an amusement park holds a maximum of 12 people per ride.
a. write and solve an inequality to find the least number of rides needed for 15,000 people
b. do you think it is possible for 15,000 to ride the thrill ride in 1 day? explain.

a) The least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people an amusement park holds = 12 people per ride.

Number of people is needed for the least number of rides = 15000

Let the number of rides be 'x'.

a) So, our inequality will be

Hence, the least number of rides needed for 15000 people is 1250.

b) Do you think it is possible for 15,000 to ride the thrill ride in 1 day? Explain.

Since there is 1250 rides, and

If we assume that the amusement park is open for 8 hours.

Then, each ride takes

But each rides takes atleast 5 minutes.

So, it is not possible to ride the thrill ride in 1 day.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
