Question

One company estimates same-day delivery as more than three less than half the total number of miles. Which graph represents the overall equation represented by this scenario (all points may not apply to the scenario)? Note that the graphs have miles for the independent variable on the x-axis, and the y-axis is a unit of time dependent on the number of miles.

Answer 1

By using an online graphing calculator, the overall equation represented by this scenario is plotted in the image attached below.

How to determine the graph?

Based on the information provided about this company with respect to its delivery and total number of miles to be covered, we would assign variables as follows:

• Let y represent same-day delivery.

• Let x be the total number of miles.

Next, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic equation by using an inequality:

y > x/2 - 3

Also, we would determine the intercepts as follows:

When x = 0, we have;

y = 0/2 - 3

y = -3.

y-intercept = (0, -3).

For the x-intercept, we have:

When y = 0, we have;

0 = x/2 - 3

x/2 = 3

x = 6.

x-intercept = (6, 0).
