To determine the intercepts, we can set up the following equation for the total amount of spaghetti sauce using small jars (8 oz) and large jars (16 oz):
Let:
= number of small jars = number of large jars
The equation representing the total amount of sauce is:
To find the intercepts:
- Find the x-intercept: Set
:
So, the x-intercept is
- Find the y-intercept: Set
:
So, the y-intercept is
The intercepts labeled by the group leader are
Therefore, the correct response is:
(0, 15) and (30, 0).
