Tell whether the two quantities vary directly. explain your reasoning. the cafeteria provides three meals per day.

The cafeteria provides three meals per day.

Reason 1

Yes, they vary directly  

As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e

1st day ⇒ 3

2nd day⇒6

3 rd day⇒9

4th day⇒12

increases.

Total number of Meals = k×Number of days

But there is another possibility also

Reason 2

1 st day ⇒ 3

2nd day ⇒3

3rd day⇒ 3

As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is  

constant.

So we can say that ,

On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3

So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
