d.
Answer:
d. The fourth one.
Explanation:
Given : When planning for a party, one caterer recommends the amount of meat be at least 2 pounds less than One-third the total number of guests.
To Find : Graph represents the overall equation represented by this scenario
Solution:
Number of guests = x ( independent variable)
Meat = y ( dependent variable)
amount of meat be at least 2 pounds less than One-third the total number of guests
=> y ≥ x/ 3 - 2
draw a line using equation y = x/3 - 2
so graph passes through ( 0 , - 2 ) , (3, - 1)
now check origin
0 ≥ 0 - 2
=> 0 ≥ - 2
Hence origin satisfy
so graph where ( 0 , - 2 ) , (3, - 1) are on the line
and origin is in shaded region is correct graph
