Q:

When planning for a party, one caterer recommends the amount of meat be at least 2 pounds less than 1/3 the total number of guests. Which graph represents this scenario?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The graph in the attached figureStep-by-step explanation:Letx-----> the total number of guestsy -----> the amount of meatwe know thatThe inequality that represent this situation is equal to[tex]y\geq \frac{1}{3}x-2[/tex] Note The inequality is "greater than or equal" because the given statement say "at least"The solution of this inequality is the shaded area above the solid line [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-2[/tex]The slope of the solid line is positiveThe y-intercept of the solid line is -2 Β  The x-intercept of the solid line is 6thereforeThe graph in the attached figureRemember that The values of x an y cannot be a negative number
