A wholesaler requires a minimum of 4 items in each order from its retail customers. The manager of one retail store is considering ordering a certain number of sofas, x , and a certain number of pillows that come in pairs, y Which graph represents the overall equation represented by this scenario? (All points may not apply to the scenario.)
Answer
A
Image with description A coordinate plane displays the x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A dashed line with a negative slope passes through approximately the points 0 comma 2, 2 comma 1, and 4 comma 0. The region above the dashed line is shaded.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane displays the x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A solid line with a negative slope passes through approximately the points 0 comma 2, 2 comma 1, and 4 comma 0. The region below the solid line is shaded.
C
Image with description A coordinate plane with a straight line of negative slope and a shaded region. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The line extends from the upper-left area of the plane near negative 4 comma 4 to the lower-right area near 4 comma 1, passing through the upper-center portion of the plane. The region above the line is shaded.
D
Image with description A coordinate plane displays the x-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A dashed line with a negative slope passes through approximately the points 0 comma 2, 2 comma 1, and 4 comma 0. The region below the dashed line is shaded.
