Answer:
The price, in dollars, of 1 ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we are simply graphing the total amount of money collected from ticket sales and total number of tickets sold. When we do the suggested y vs x comparison you can say the following:
total amount of money collected / total number of tickets sold = slope
In this case, we will have a slope that represents the value of a single ticket. This can be shown with the following:
Jeremy:
$144 / 36 = $4
Maggie:
$192 / 48 = $4
Notice, that the value per ticket is $4 for both Jeremy and Maggie. According to our formula of calculating slope, the slope for our graph would show the price per ticket.
Cheers.
