I already asked the first question and they said it was A, but Im not sure on how to solve it on my own? Can someone help me?

Answer 1

1. y >= -3x -2

2. y >= 3x -2

Answer 2

Did you try plugging in the points?

Answer 3

sorry

Answer 4

for the first one I got -1 >= -2 for (0,-1) but thats not the right answers right? because the question is asking which is NOT a solution?

Answer 5

Right. It has to make a false statement.

Answer 6

Also you left out the inequality symbols again.

Answer 7

so for (0,0) i got 0 >= -2 and thats incorrect so would that be the answer?

Answer 8

O is greater than -2

Answer 9

but not equal to... right?

Answer 10

let me try the other ones

Answer 11

It doesn't have to be both. Just one of the other has to be true. That's why it is greater than OR equal to

Answer 12

ooo okay I just did (-1,0) and that came out to be 0>=-1 that is false so that would be the answer right?
