One company estimates same-day delivery as more than three less than half the total number of miles. Which graph represents the overall equation represented by this scenario (all points may not apply to the scenario)? Note that the graphs have miles for the independent variable on the x-axis, and the y-axis is a unit of time dependent on the number of miles.

Interpret "three less than half the total number of miles" as (1/2)x − 3, and "more than" gives a strict inequality. So the relationship is

y > (1/2)x − 3.

The correct graph is the one with the line y = (1/2)x − 3 drawn dashed (because the inequality is strict) and the region above that line shaded (for example, the origin (0,0) lies above the line since 0 > −3).
