To determine which points are reasonable solutions to the situation described, we need to analyze the constraints.
-
Understanding the Line: The line passes through the points (0, 5) and (5, 0). The equation of this line can be derived from its slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
- The slope (m) between the two points can be calculated as:
- The y-intercept (b) is 5, since the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 5).
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
- The slope (m) between the two points can be calculated as:
-
Inequality: Since everything to the left of the line is shaded and represents solutions, we want:
-
Weight Constraint: Audrey has less than 5 pounds of grapes in total, which leads to the constraint:
Now we will consider each point given and see if it meets both
-
Point (-1, 2):
: → (True) : → (True)- Valid point.
-
Point (1, 3.5):
: → (True) : → (True)- Valid point.
-
Point (2, 2):
: → (True) : → (True)- Valid point.
-
Point (4.5, 0.5):
: → (False, it is not less than) : → (False)- Not a valid point.
-
Point (5, 0):
: → (False) : → (False)- Not a valid point.
Summary of Valid Points
The reasonable solutions based on the conditions are:
- (-1, 2)
- (1, 3.5)
- (2, 2)
So the valid points are:
