When planning for a party, one caterer recommends the amount of meat be at least 2 pounds less than 1/3 the total number of guests. Which graph represents this scenario?




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
[tex]y\geq \frac{1}{3}x-2[/tex]
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 [tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-2[/tex]
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
