Question

A hook in an office storage closet can hold no more than 6 pounds. An order of jumbo paperclips weighs 2 pounds and an order of packing tape weighs 3 pounds. If x is the number of orders of paperclips and y is the number of orders of packing tape, which graph represents the overall equation represented by this scenario (all points may not apply to the scenario)?

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be A, or the first graph

Step-by-step explanation:

So we’ve now created an equation

2x + 3y ≤ 6

From here, we can convert this into something easier to read

y ≤ -2/3x + 2

Now, we know that the y-intercept is 2 so either A or B

We also know the shaded area should be below the line (because the smallest part of the “≤” is facing the y).

Therefore, the answer is A

A
