Question

The initial value is b=
, and the rate of change is m=
.
Remaining Attempts : 3

Answer 1

In this scenario, we can define the variables for the entrance fee and the cost of ride tickets:

1. Initial Value (b): The initial value represents the fixed cost that everyone incurs before they start going on rides. This is the entrance fee, which is $12. So, we have:

   \[ b = 12 \]

2. Rate of Change (m): The rate of change represents how much the total cost increases for each additional ride taken. Since the cost of each ride ticket is $2, this means that for every ride taken, the total cost increases by $2. So, we have:

   \[ m = 2 \]

So the answers are:

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