The average price of a circus ticket from 1970 to 2000 can be modeled by the equation y = 0.32x + 28, where y represents the average price, in dollars, and x represents the number of years since 1970. What does the slope represent ?

The slope means that every year the average price of a circus ticket increases by 0.32 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is change in y over change in x

change in average price/years

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
