Hi,
3.99x+4.99y =20 models the situation of having $20.00
to buy cold cuts ham cost $3.99 per pound and turkey cost $4.99 per pound
what does the x-intercept of the gragh of the equation tell you about the amount of meat you can buy?
y = 0 at the x-intercept
That tells us we are buying only ham cold cuts with our $20 (~ 5lbs)
3.99x = $20
