Answer 1

the debate club needs $240.00 to attend a debate tournament. the club decides to sell cups of iced tea and lemonade at a baseball games. iced tea will be sold for $0.50 per cup and lemonade will be sold for $0.80 per cup
i know that the y-intercept=(0, 300) and the x-intercept=(480, 0)
what i need is to graph these two sets of points AND Use your graph to find three different combinations of cups of iced tea sold and cups of lemonade sold that will raise $240.00

Answer 2

Graph the line y = 1/2x for the tea
Graph the line y = 4/5x for the lemonade

Answer 3

could you show me how to graph it.. @Mertsj
i suck at graphing -_-

Answer 4

y = 1/2 x y intercept is 0. From there go up 1 and right 2
y = 4/5 x y intercept is 0. From there go up 4 and right 5

Answer 5

okay if i graph that.. it asks "Use your graph to find three different combinations of cups of iced tea sold and cups of lemonade sold that will raise $240.00"

and i know that the y-intercept=(0, 300) and the x-intercept=(480, 0) so wouldnt i graph those 2 points?
im confused now @Mertsj

Answer 6

Graph the line 1/2 x + 4/5 y = 240
Any point on that line will be a solution.

Answer 7

y=240? how do i do that

Answer 8

could you just draw it out for me
