Slope of Line Word Problems

An amusement park has an entrance fee, and then there is a cost to ride each ride. The total cost (y) can be modeled by y=1.5x+20 where x is the number of rides you ride. What does the y intercept represent?

• Number of rides

• The entrance fee

• The cost for food

• The cost per ride

Bob has $150 in his savings account and saves $40 per month.  Which equation represents the amount Bob has in his account after x months?

• y = 150 + 40

• y = 40x + 150

• y = 150x + 40

If m=3 and b=6, what is the correct slope intercept equation?

• y=3-6

• y=3x-6

• y=3x+6

• y=6x+3

Write the equation

• y = 25x

• y = 100x - 25

• y = -25x + 100

• y = 25/100x
