This combination of people
be at a store.

Answer 1

The point (3, 7) means there are 3 children and 7 adults. This combination of people can be at a store.

To clarify further, when you plot the point (3, 7) on a graph where the x-axis represents the number of children and the y-axis represents the number of adults, it signifies that if there are 3 children, there would be 7 adults in order to make a total of 11 people in the store.
