Reba and her best friend Kim are joining a yoga studio. There is a membership fee of $25 to join the studio, and the friends will each pay $2.50 per day for classes each time they attend. The rate of change or slope of this situation would be $2.50.The membership fee is a flat rate and would be considered the y-intercept of the situation. Reba and her best friend Kim are joining a yoga studio. There is a membership fee of $25 to join the studio, and the friends will each pay $2.50 per day for classes each time they attend.Which equation represents this situation? y=-2.50x+25 y=2.50x+25 y=25x+2.50 y=25x-2.50 The local senior center is planning to take a group to see a musical production. The performance tickets are regularly priced at $40 for adults, but anyone over 65 receives a discounted ticket price of $32. The senior center has raised a total of $800 in donations to afford the trip.Which linear equation formula would you use to write the equation that represents this situation? slope-intercept form point-slope form standard form The local senior center is planning to take a group to see a musical production. The performance tickets are regularly priced at $40 for adults, but anyone over 65 receives a discounted ticket price of $32. The senior center has raised a total of $800 in donations to afford the trip. Match the information correctly. x - cost for regular priced adult ticket $40 y- cost for discounted priced adult ticket $32 total money donated so far $800 The local senior center is planning to take a group to see a musical production. The performance tickets are regularly priced at $40 for adults, but anyone over 65 receives a discounted ticket price of $32. The senior center has raised a total of $800 in donations to afford the trip. Write an equation that models the number of regular adult tickets, x, and the number of senior tickets, y, that can be purchased for the trip. Ms. Calhoun is an architect. On one of her sets of plans, she draws a line. The line has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (2,5). Ms. Calhoun needs to know the equation of this line in order to complete her drawing. Which linear equation formula should I use to find the equation of this line? Justify your answer in complete sentences. Ms. Calhoun is an architect. On one of her sets of plans, she draws a line. The line has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (2,5). Ms. Calhoun needs to know the equation of this line in order to complete her drawing.Which equation models Ms. Calhoun's line? y+5=4 y-5=4 y-2=4 y+2=4 Highlight important information on the problem below. Use the problem above to answer the following questions. The slope of the equation that models this situation is negative because the balloon is descending to earth.The slope of the equation that models this situation is -22 feet per minute.The y-intercept of the equation that models this situation is 650 feet because that is where Demontre spots it. The equation of the line that represents the above problem is: Match the math to the step that was completed. 2x - 6y = 12 Original problem -6y = -2x +12 Move the x-term using inverse operations y=1 - 2 Divide each piece by -6 Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 15x + 3y = 9 Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. y - 6 = 2(x + 3) Rewrite the equation in standard form. y = 4x +6 Our test is on Friday, what do you feel you are still struggling with when it comes to forms of linear equations?
