An experiment was conducted that recorded the weight of a new bar of soap after each use. The line of best fit for the data collected is y = - 5 -5.6x 6x + 123 , where y is the weight of the bar of soap, in grams, and ris the number of times that the bar was used Which statement describes the meaning of the -intercept for the line of best fit equation ?

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.
