Question

7. A college student has two different jobs. Her combined work schedules consist of no

more than 48 hours in one week.
Which graph best represents the solution set for all possible combinations of x, the
number of hours she worked at her first job, and y, the number of hours she worked at
her second job, in one week?

Answer 1

The graph that best represents the solution set for all possible combinations that the college students could have worked is graph A.

The optimal representation for the solution set encompassing all potential combinations of hours worked by college students is depicted by graph A. The most suitable graph should made up of all possible hour combinations below 48 hours on both the y and x axes.

This ensures all combinations are picked to the 48-hour constraint for any chosen combinations is one that still stands.

So, Graph A stands out as the sole graph possessing this characteristic, making it the most favorable choice.
