The local business will donate $5.00 for every 10 tickets sold. Let x represent tickets sold, and y represent dollars donated. Student A claims that the equation is y = 2x. Student B claims that the equation is y = 1/2x. Explain who is correct.
The point that represents what the local business will donate is (10, 5). After testing the point in both equations, you can see that student B wrote the correct equation; 5 = 1/2(10).
