Madison buys supplies so she can make and sell wind chimes. She begins

to make a
profit only after she sells her first 6 wind chimes. Which point on the graph makes the
most sense in this situation?

Step-by-step explanation:

In the graph x-coordinate represents the number of wind chimes sold and y-coordinate represents the profit Madison earned. If a point is below the x-axis, means it has negative y-coordinate than it represents loss. Points above x-axis should have x-coordinate more than 6 as stated in the question that she started earning profit after selling her first 6 wind chimes. All the points having x-coordinate less than 6 should lie on or below the x-axis.

By the above statement point B is completely wrong. Point C and Point A are also wrong as they both x-coordinate more than 6 but still they are below x-axis.

Point D is the makes most sense here as it has x-coordinate more than 6 and it is above x-axis. This means that when Madison sold 7 wind chimes she was in a profit of $3.75.
