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: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - 5}{5 - 0} = -1 \]
- The y-intercept (b) is 5, since the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 5).
Therefore, the equation of the line is: \[ y = -x + 5 \]
-
Inequality: Since everything to the left of the line is shaded and represents solutions, we want: \[ y < -x + 5 \]
-
Weight Constraint: Audrey has less than 5 pounds of grapes in total, which leads to the constraint: \[ x + y < 5 \]
Now we will consider each point given and see if it meets both \( y < -x + 5 \) and \( x + y < 5 \):
-
Point (-1, 2):
- \( y < -x + 5 \): \( 2 < -(-1) + 5 \) → \( 2 < 6 \) (True)
- \( x + y < 5 \): \( -1 + 2 < 5 \) → \( 1 < 5 \) (True)
- Valid point.
-
Point (1, 3.5):
- \( y < -x + 5 \): \( 3.5 < -1 + 5 \) → \( 3.5 < 4 \) (True)
- \( x + y < 5 \): \( 1 + 3.5 < 5 \) → \( 4.5 < 5 \) (True)
- Valid point.
-
Point (2, 2):
- \( y < -x + 5 \): \( 2 < -2 + 5 \) → \( 2 < 3 \) (True)
- \( x + y < 5 \): \( 2 + 2 < 5 \) → \( 4 < 5 \) (True)
- Valid point.
-
Point (4.5, 0.5):
- \( y < -x + 5 \): \( 0.5 < -4.5 + 5 \) → \( 0.5 < 0.5 \) (False, it is not less than)
- \( x + y < 5 \): \( 4.5 + 0.5 < 5 \) → \( 5 < 5 \) (False)
- Not a valid point.
-
Point (5, 0):
- \( y < -x + 5 \): \( 0 < -5 + 5 \) → \( 0 < 0 \) (False)
- \( x + y < 5 \): \( 5 + 0 < 5 \) → \( 5 < 5 \) (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: \((-1, 2), (1, 3.5), (2, 2)\).
