4-2 Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

The cost to order 8 tickets should be another $52 more than the cost of 7 tickets. So, the cost is $379 + 52 or $431.

A music store is offering a Frequent Buyers Club membership. The membership costs $22 per year, and

then a member can buy CDs at a reduced price. If a member buys 17 CDs in one year, the cost is $111.25.

Determine the cost of each CD for a member.

Write a linear equation to represent the total cost y of a one year membership, if x CDs are purchased.

Graph this equation.

a. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to find the cost of each CD for a member where y = 111.25, x =17, and

b = 22. Then, solve for m.

So, the cost of each CD for a member is $5.25.

b. The total cost of a one-year membership if x CDs are purchased, can be represented by the linear equation y =

5.25x + 22.

c. To graph the equation, plot the y-intercept (0, 22) and the point (17, 111.25). Draw a line through the points.

Tess and Jacinta are writing an equation of the line through (3, 2) and (6, 4). Is either of

them correct? Explain your reasoning.
