Question
Determine the initial value and the rate of change in the following description. At a local festival, the entrance fee is $12 per person, and ride tickets cost $2 for every ride.(1 point)
The initial value is b=
, and the rate of change is m=
.

Answer 1

In the given description, you can identify the initial value (b) and the rate of change (m) as follows:

1. Initial Value (b): This represents the fixed cost before any rides are taken. In this case, the entrance fee is $12 per person, which means the initial value is: \[ b = 12 \]

2. Rate of Change (m): This represents how much the cost changes with each additional ride. According to the description, ride tickets cost $2 for every ride, so the rate of change is: \[ m = 2 \]

Thus, your answers will be:

• The initial value is \( b = 12 \)
• The rate of change is \( m = 2 \)
