Question

The graph shows the total amount of chips in the bag in oz., y, over time, x, in minutes. It's a negative slope with the equation: x + 2y = 7 and 2 points: point 1: (0, 3.5) and point 2: (7, 0)

What is the end behavior of the graph? Response area

2) What would be a reasonable domain for this scenario? Response area

3) What would be reasonable outputs for the scenario domain?

1) **End behavior of the graph**: The graph has a negative slope, indicating that as time (x) increases, the quantity of chips in the bag (y) decreases. Because the equation is linear and represents a situation where chips are consumed over time, the end behavior shows that as time approaches infinity, the quantity of chips approaches zero (y approaches 0).

2) **Reasonable domain for this scenario**: Given that the scenario involves a physical quantity (chips in a bag) decreasing over time, a reasonable domain would be all non-negative values of time. Thus, the domain could be \( x \geq 0 \), possibly up to the point when all chips are consumed, which is \( x \leq 7 \) (since the graph shows that after 7 minutes, there are no chips left). Therefore, a reasonable domain is \( [0, 7] \).

3) **Reasonable outputs for the scenario domain**: The outputs (amount of chips in oz., y) must correspond to the total amount of chips that can be in the bag at any given time from the domain identified.
- At \( x = 0 \) minutes, \( y = 3.5 \) oz.
- At \( x = 7 \) minutes, \( y = 0 \) oz.
Given the linear relationship and the endpoints, the reasonable outputs (y-values) would range from 0 to 3.5 oz., specifically \( y \in [0, 3.5] \).
