A sign says that 3 tickets cost $22.50 and that 7 tickets cost $52.50. Which equations in point-slope form would represents the cost of tickets? Select all that apply.

• y - 22.50 = 7.50(x - 3)

• y - 52.50 = 7.50(x - 7)

• y = 7.50x

• y + 22.50 = 7.50(x + 3)

The population of a city increases by 4000 people each year. In 2025, the population is projected to be 450,000 people. What is an equation that gives the city's population y (in thousands of people) x years after 2010?

• y = 4x + 450

• y - 450 = 4(x - 15)

• y - 15 = 4(x - 450)

• y = 4x + 15

• 600x + 1000y = 9800

• 1000x + 600y = 9800

• y = 6/10x + 9800

• y = 10/6x + 9800
