A movie theater sends out a coupon for 20% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation for the situation, where y is the price of the ticket with the coupon, and x is the original price of the ticket. Use pencil and paper. Draw a graph of the equation and explain why the line should only be in the first quadrant. The equation is y=0)

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
