Solve the problem.
-A winery can produce red wine, white wine, or a combination of the two. The product exchange function for red wine, $x$, and white wine, $y$, in tons is:
$$y=\frac{144,000-45 x}{1920+x}$$
By sketching the quadrant I portion of the graph of this function, estimate the maximum quantity of each kind of wine that can be produced.
A) red wine: 3200 tons; white wine: 75 tons
B) red wine: 75 tons; white wine: 3200 tons
C) red wine: 3200 tons; white wine: 144,000 tons
D) red wine: 144,000 tons; white wine: 75 tons

The function describes a trade-off between producing red and white wine. Setting $x = 0$ gives the maximum white wine production, $y = \frac{144,000}{1920} = 75$ tons. Setting $y = 0$ gives the maximum red wine production, $x = 3200$ tons.
