The income, i, from a high school play is a linear function of the number of tickets, t. When 80 tickets are sold, the income is $1000. When 200 tickets are sold, the income is $2500.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Linear points (80, 1000) and (200, 2500). Ordered pair are in format for (t, i).

Slope .

highlight%28i-1000=%2825%2F2%29%28t-80%29%29


You can figure out the rest.
