Tickets to a play cost $10 at the door and $8 in advance. The theater club wants to raise at least $800 from the play. Write and graph an inequality for the numbers of tickets sold at the door.

Question

Write and graph an inequality for the number of tickets the theater club needs to sell. Use x to represent the number of tickets sold at the door and y to represent the number of tickets sold in advance. Please give a slope and a Y-intercept. Also(but not required)give an explanation on how to graph it.

Answer 1

Standard form:

10x + 8y < 800

Slope intercept form:

y < (-5/4)x + 100

Slope: -5/4

y-intercept: 100
