Volunteer drivers are needed to bring 80 students to the championship baseball game. Drivers either have cars, which can seat 4 students, or vans, which can seat 6 students.

The equation 4c + 6v = 80 describes the relationship between the number of cars c and number of vans v that can transport exactly 80 students.

Explain how you know that this graph represents this equation.
