the Wet Water Park charges $0.75 to rent a mat plus $0.50 each time you ride the big slide. How much will you spend if you ride the big slide no more than 8 times?

$0.75 is our constant, and $0.50 is our rate of change.

Using slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we now have y = .5x + .75.

Since we know that you rode the big slide 8 times, x becomes 8: y = .5(8) + .75

Then you multiply .5 * 8 and add .75 to the product.
