Question

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?

Answer 1

4th graph

Explanation:

Answer 2

The graph in the attached figure

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the total number of guests

y -----> the amount of meat

we know that

The inequality that represent this situation is equal to

`y\geq (1)/(3)x-2`

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
`y=(1)/(3)x-2`

The slope of the solid line is positive

The y-intercept of the solid line is -2

The x-intercept of the solid line is 6

therefore

The graph in the attached figure

Remember that

The values of x an y cannot be a negative number
