Answer:

y = 0.9x

Step-by-step explanation:

A movie theater sends out a coupon for 10​% off the price of a ticket, so the price of the ticket with the​ coupon is 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price.

Let

x = original price

y = price of the ticket with the​ coupon

Then

x - 100%

y - 90%

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{100}{90}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]100y=90x\\ \\y=0.9x[/tex]

Since the original price and final price are always greater than 0, then the graph of this equation is in the first quadrant (see attached diagram)
