Another question! Whoo. So, this picture: https://courses.vlacs.org/vlacontent/algebra2_v10_gs//assessments-xml/res0012/prac_g_03.gif%22 What inequality is graphed? Also, could you show me HOW I find that equation to go along with it? Thanks so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that in equality question with absolute value too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it is,|x-h|+k let see where the vertex is from the picture look to me like (1.5,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-nodnod- I can see that, yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=-|x-1.5|+1 But remember this is inequality since it is shaded down--> less than y<-|x-1.5|+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-nodnod- Alright :] I see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. Thank you so much! :D You're amazing <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, that can't be it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers are this:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. y > - |2x + 3| - 1 b. y < |x + 3| + 1 c. y < - |2x - 3| + 1 d. y < |2x - 3| - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a mult choice, and that's not a choice :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, they care about slope, Okay, no problem Let's find a slope of the line. To do that , let's choose two points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two points I chose (1.5,1)(2.5,-1) Looks to me like -2/1 =-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright :] I follow you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, so far, so good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From slope we get y<|-2x+A|+1 Since it is facing down, stick negative in front y<-|-2x+A|+1 Remember Vertex formula is |(x-h)|+k But we don't have (x-h) instead we have (-2x-A); so we try to get it into form -2(x+A/2) From that we have see h=A/2 ; since h is 1.5 , A must be twice as much so 3 Now that we know what A is let plug back into following equation y<-|-2x+A|+1 y<-|-2x+3|+1 distribute the negative y<-|2x-3|+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright! Thanks :D Yay.
