Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step 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
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
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
Input is the same as the x-term and output is the same as the y-term.
For example, take a look at the image provided with thee table.
Looking at the first box of our table, notice that if we subtract 5 from 1, we get -4 and if we subtract 5 from 2 we get -3 and if we subtract 5 from 3, we get -2. Notice that in each case, we're subtracting 5 from the input to get the output.
I attached a table so you can practice if you'd like to. All you have to do is subtract 5 from each input and you will end up with the output. The first few are done for you. I also provided an answer key in the next image so you can check your work.
The last one might be a little trick. In the input, we have n which is a variable that represents any number. If we want to find the nth term, we simply subtract 5. So we have n - 5.
First image is practice if you'd like and the second is the key.
If you don't want to do it, no worries.
