Answer 3

The rental truck can haul a maximum of 7500 pounds. That means up to and including 7500 pounds. The inequality is 40x + 75y <= 7500. Since it is "less than or equal to", it has to be a solid line. To plot the line we set it "equal to" 7500 and draw the line. 40x + 75y = 7500 when x = 0, 75y = 7500 or y = 100. The y-intercept is 100. when y= 0, 40x = 7500, or x = 187.5. So x-intercept is 187.5 Which graph has a solid line with x-intercept 187.5, y-intercept 100 and is shaded below?
