6. Volunteer drivers are needed to bring 80 students to the championshipbaseball game. Drivers either have cars, which can seat 4 students, orvans, which can seat 6 students. The equation 4C + 6 = 80 describes therelationship between the number of cars c and number of vans v that cantransport exactly 80 students.Explain how you know that this graphrepresents this equation. *

Answer

[tex]4C+6V=80[/tex]

Let's make

v = Y

C= X

[tex]4x+6y=80[/tex]

We are going to use x-intercept and y-intercept to check if the graph is correct

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+6y=80 \\ \text{make y the subject } \\ 6y=80-4x \\ \text{divide both sides by 6} \\ y=\frac{80-4x}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The y-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the y-axis. In other words, it is the value of y when x=0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{80-4x}{6} \\ x=0 \\ y=\frac{80-4(0)}{6} \\ \\ y=\frac{80-0}{6} \\ y=\frac{80}{6} \\ \\ y=13.33 \\ (0,13.33) \end{gathered}[/tex]

The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is zero

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{80-4x}{6} \\ \\ \text{when y=0} \\ 0=\frac{80-4x}{6} \\ cross\text{ multiply} \\ 0\times6=80-4x \\ 0=80-4x \\ 80=4x \\ \text{divide both sides by 4} \\ \frac{80}{4}=\frac{4x}{4} \\ \\ x=20 \\ (20,0) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since, the x-intercept and y-intercept are correct the graph is true for the equation
