I have $50 to spend at the movies. I want to buy soda and popcorn to share with my friends. How much of each can I buy with my $50.
Standard form of a line ax + by =c Soda = a= $5 Popcorn = b= $10 5x + 10y = 50
5x + 10y = 50 -5x -5x 10y = -5x + 50 10y = -5x + 50 10 10 10 y = -1/2 x + 5 slope y-intercept
If I buy 1 soda how many popcorns can I buy? 5x + 10 y = 50 5(1) + 10 y = 50 5 + 10y = 50 -5 -5 10y = 45 10 10 Y = 4.5
If I buy 2 sodas, how many popcorns can I buy? 5x + 10y = 50 5(2) + 10 y = 50 10 + 10y = 50 -10 -10 10y = 40 Y = 4
If I buy 4 sodas, how many popcorns can I buy? 5x + 10 y = 50 5 (4) = 10 y = 50 20 + 10y = 50 -20 -20 10y = 30 Y = 3
If I buy six sodas, how many popcorns can I buy? 5x + 10y = 50 5(6) + 10y = 50 + 10y = 50 -30 -30 10y = 20 Y = 2
If I buy 10 sodas, how many popcorns can I buy? 5x + 10y = 50 5(10) + 10y = 50 50 + 10 y = 50 -50 -50 10y = 0 Y = 0
How many popcorns can I buy if I don’t buy any sodas? 5x + 10y = 50 5 (0) + 10y = 50 0 + 10y = 50 10y = 50 Y = 5
5x + 10y = 50 5X + 10 (0)= 505(0) + 10y = 50 5x = 500 + 10y = 50 x = 10y = 5 (10, 0)(0,5) y- intercept x-intercept
Well, I decided that I should buy each one of my friends their own popcorn and their own drink. I also decided to buy myself two different drinks, so I actually purchased 4 drinks and 3 popcorns. It was sure a good day at the movies.
