Question

The graph of 15x + 7y = 15 is shown on the grid. Which ordered pair is in the solution set of 15x + 7y ≥ 15?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$15x+7y=15$

The given inequality is

$15x+7y\geq 15$

A point will contained in solution set if the above inequality satisfied by that point.

Check the point (0,-3),

$15(0)+7(-3)\geq 15$

$-21\geq 15$

This statement is false, therefore option a is incorrect.

Check the point (-3,0),

$15(-3)+7(0)\geq 15$

$-45\geq 15$

This statement is false, therefore option b is incorrect.

Check the point (3,3),

$15(3)+7(3)\geq 15$

$66\geq 15$

This statement is true, therefore option c is correct.

Check the point (-3,-3),

$15(-3)+7(-3)\geq 15$

$-66\geq 15$

This statement is false, therefore option d is incorrect.
