Task: Describe a plausible scenario related to the water park that could be modeled by this equation: y=40x-8. In your description, be sure to use appropriate vocabulary, both real-world and mathematical. Refer to your notes to choose words that may help with your description.

Making sense of your task:

Think about different activities and events happening at waterparks. What could the variables x and y represent in the context of the waterpark (people, tickets, minutes, hours, money, food) and how would you use the 40 and -8 as part of your story? Remember, variables are unknown quantities and this lesson also talked about slopes and y-intercepts.

Provide a detailed description in 2-5 sentences.
