FIRST WE FIND THE SLOPE OF THIS LINE WHICH IS (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) (-1+1)/-5-7)=0/-12=0 THEREFORE THIS A HORIZONTAL LINE WITH SLOPE OF 0 & PASSES THROUGH Y=-1. THEREFORE THE LINE EQUATION Y=mX+b (m=SLOPE, b=Y INERCEPT) BECOMES Y=-1

Linear-systems/64402: This question is from textbook McDougal Littell 2876question #42 says you are selling tickets for a high school play students tickets cost 4$ and general admission cost$6. you sell 525 tickets and collect $2876 how many of each type of ticket did you sell? so far the only thing i get is that one of the equatons is i think 4x+6y=525 but i don't know how to get the other one,? help? 1 solutions Answer 45052 by checkley71(8403)   on 2006-12-09 11:11:49 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! S+G=525 STUDENT + GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS SOLD 4S+6G=2876 AMOUNT OF MONEY COLLECTED FOR SELLING STUDENT TICKETS FOR $4 & GENERAL ADMISSION FOR $6. THEN S=525-G NOW SUBSTITUTE (525-G) FOR S IN THE OTHER EQUATION WE GET 4(525-G)+6G=2876 2100-4G+6G=2876 2G=2876-2100 2G=776 G=776/2 G=388 THE NUMBER OF GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS SOLD. THEN 525-388=137 NUMBER OF STUDENT TICKETS SOLD. PROOF 4*137+6*388=2876 548+2328=2876 2876=2876
