You spend $50 on a meal for you and your friends. Graph the equation [tex]1.5y + 4x = 50[/tex].

Answer (3)

For x=2 y is 28 For x=5 y is 20 For x=8 y is 12 For x=11 y is 4 Allowing change, x cannot go over 12 (since y must be at least 0), and neither y could go over 32 (since x must be at least 0)

To graph the equation 1.5 y + 4 x = 50 , find the intercepts: the y-intercept is ( 0 , 33.33 ) and the x-intercept is ( 12.5 , 0 ) . Plot these points and draw a line through them to represent the budget constraint. This line shows the combinations of sandwiches and drinks that can be bought with a $50 budget.
