Y = x + 5
Identify the slope in the equation:

The slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation y=mx+b represents slope intercept form, and "mx" represents the slope.

the equation can also be written as: y = 1x + 5

x = # of student tickets

y = # of adult tickets

x + y = 1294 >> y = 1294 - x

5x + 8y = 8816

5x + 8y = 8816

5x + 8(1294 - x) = 8816

5x + 10,352 - 8x = 8816

-3x + 10,352 = 8816

-3x = -1536

x = 512 student tickets

512 student tickets were purchased.
