A country fair charges $5 for tickets and $2 for each ride. What is the slope in this scenario, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of rides ridden?

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

each means x so use rise/run

rise is y since it goes vertical

run is x because its horizontal

so 5 for tickets and 2 for EACH ride

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
