What equation represents this graph? How do I figure it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st maybe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait not 1st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im trying to work it out... I am just lost with this concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd or 4th i just don't know what dotted lines means, if it's for inclusion of the line in the solution too then it must be 2nd otherwise 4th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, this is confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that this is confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am just getting confused with these graphs lol mrbonez

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

dotted lines represent ( < or > )

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

find the equations of the two lines and find out which of the inequalities satisfies the white region

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its the 3rd or 4th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it must be 1st just put 0,0 into the equations for the equation with y intercept as 2 0,0 isn't the solutions and for the equation with y intercept -1, (0,0) is the solution if dotted lines implies inclusion of the line into the region or solutions then 1st otherwise 3rd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that contradicts what diya said... she said dotted lines are (< or >)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 3rd if dotted lines are > and < not \(\le \) and \(\ge\)

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

dotted lines imply exclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but in my opinion dotted lines should represent inclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inclusion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\le\) and \(\ge\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

the notation for a strict inequality is a dashed line http://www.purplemath.com/modules/ineqgrph.htm

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

solid line = inclusion \[\le \ge\] dotted line = exclusion \[<>\] when u use dotted lines, it's kind of like saying, hey i'm just showing u where to shade, i'm not part of ur work... but when u use solid lines, it's kind of like saying, hey! come hit me, i'm definitely part of ur answer! that's how i figure it out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I know if its < or > in this equation... in my mind i think one should be < and the other should be >...

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

if it's a solid line, points on that line satisfy the inequality, if it's dotted, points on that line do not satisfy the inequality but points just in front of that dotted line do satisfy the inequality ;)

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

just in front = any point in the shaded region except the line itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... im just trying to figure this out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this equation, the yellow and green should be > but the blue and green should be < right?

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

yellow is < blue is > green is > with respect to the line with the negative slope green is < with respect to the line with the positive slope white is the inverse of green

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But on the answer, it doesnt show any options with different signs, only with alike signs for both equations.

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

i'll take a look

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

what shaded region (color) are we dealing with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose the system of inequalities that matches the graph below. Thats the exact question

OpenStudy (nubeer):

i think its the last option

OpenStudy (nubeer):

first two options are not possible because on the graph the lines are dotted.. and when lines are dotted the line on graph is like continuous

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

the last option :)
