3. How many rides can be taken with the $100 pass? (hint: set up an equation y=mx+b using the cost per ride as your NEGATIVE “m” value because your value goes down each time you ride and $100 as your starting “b” value.
We’re solving for x when the total is 0. So, 0 = -___x + 100, fill in the blank with the cost per ride and solve for x.)

Rides: ???


Does anyone know the answer??

The number of rides is an illustration of a linear function.

The expression for the number of rides is: [tex]\mathbf{x = -\frac{100}{m}}[/tex]

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = mx + b}[/tex]

Where:

  • m represents the slope
  • b represents the y-intercept
  • x represents the number of rides
  • y represents the cost

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{y =0, b = 100\ and\ m < 0}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = mx + 100}[/tex]

Subtract 100 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{mx = -100}[/tex]

Divide both sides by m

[tex]\mathbf{x = -\frac{100}{m}}[/tex]

So, the expression for the number of rides is: [tex]\mathbf{x = -\frac{100}{m}}[/tex]
