Eddie is making a graph to determine how many buses will be needed to transport all the seniors on a field trip. He records the number of students on the x-axis and the number of buses on the y-axis. What is a reasonable range for this graph?\r

\n" );
document.write( "The domain goes with x, the number of students
\n" );
document.write( "The range goes with y, the number of buses\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "A) -100 < y < 100\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "That can't be the correct answer 
\n" );
document.write( "because you don't need to allow for a

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "That can't be the correct answer

document.write( "because you can't have 0 buses, i.e. no buses at all!\r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "D) 0 < y < 100\r

document.write( "That's the only one that makes sense,

document.write( "more than 0 busses (at least 1 bus) but less than

document.write( "100 buses.\r
