A coach has `72` tennis balls for the school's tennis team. The coach will give each player `6` tennis balls. The graph shows the linear relationship between `y`, the number of tennis balls remaining for the team, and `x`, the number of players on the team.



The coach will use no more than `8` players on the school's tennis team. Which set best represents the range of the function for this situation?

Since each player receives `6` tennis balls, the number of tennis balls used is equal to `6x` (where `x` is the number of players). Therefore, the number of tennis balls remaining is given by:

y = 72 - 6x

To find the range of the function, we need to determine the largest and smallest possible values of `y` for `x` between `1` and `8` (since the coach is using no more than `8` players). We can do this by plugging in the values of `x` into the equation and calculating `y`:

When x = 1:

y = 72 - 6(1) = 66

When x = 8:

y = 72 - 6(8) = 24

Therefore, the range of the function is from `24` to `66`. The set that best represents this range is {y | 24 ≤ y ≤ 66}.
