The student government is hosting a student carnival fundraiser. Students pay an admission fee, then can purchase tickets to pay for games or food. The tickets cost $2.00 each. Jessica attends the carnival and purchases 16 tickets, spending $45.00 in total. Bria attends and purchases 31 tickets, spending $75.00 in total. If y is total spending and a is the number of tickets.... a) Write Jessica's function in point-slope form. Jessica's total spending (hint: the slope is the cost per ticket): b) Now write Jessica's function in slope-intercept form: y = c) Write Bria's function in point-slope form. Bria's total spending (hint: the slope is the cost per ticket): d) Now write Bria's function in slope-intercept form: e) What do you notice about (b) and (d)? Are you surprised? Explain.

purchases 31 tickets, spending $75.00 in total.
If y is total spending and x is the number of tickets....
a) Write Jessica's function in point-slope form. Jessica's total spending (hint: the slope is the cost per
ticket):
b) Now write Jessica's function in slope-intercept form:
y =
c) Write Bria's function in point-slope form. Bria's total spending (hint: the slope is the cost per
ticket):
d) Now write Bria's function in slope-intercept form:
e) What do you notice about (b) and (d)?
Are you surprised? Explain.
