Josh is in charge of planning a reception for 2800 people. He is trying to decide which snacks to buy. He has asked a random sample of people who are coming to the reception what their favorite snack is. Here are the results. Favorite Snack Number of People Potato chips 33 Pretzels 24 Cookies 63 Other 60 Based on the above sample, predict the number of the people at the reception whose favorite snack will be cookies. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round any intermediate calculations.

the answer on ed. is:

c. "the graph of f(x) has exactly two x-intercepts."

hope i could someone! : )

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
