Ads in the boring business magazine are read by 300 lawyers and 1000 MBAs.

Ads in the consumer publication are read by 250 lawyers and 300 MBAs.

If Harry has $3000 to spend on advertising...

If the price of ads in the boring business magazine are $600...

If the price of ads in the consumer publication are $300...

Then, the combination of recent MBAs and lawyers whom he could reach with his budget would be represented by the integer values along a line segment that runs between the two points:

A) (2, 500, 3, 000) and (1, 500, 5, 000) <<<Correct

B) (3, 000, 3, 500) and (1, 500, 6, 000)

C) (0, 3, 000) and (1, 500, 0)

D) (3, 000, 0) and (0, 6, 000)

E) (2, 000, 0) and (0, 5, 000)

My questions:

1) Why is A correct?

2) How is there 4 points? Is this a budget line still or something 3D? Could you draw it?

3) Can you explain the difference between 2 values, 3 values and 4 values per point? This is really confusing.

4) Why are the other answers wrong?
