Determine the type of boundary line and shading for the graph of the inequality -4x - y < -6 Dashed line with shading on the side that includes the origin. Solid line with shading on the side that does not include the origin. Dashed line with shading on the side that does not include the origin. Solid line with shading on the side that includes the origin

well uhh mhmmm google? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alreaddy tried nuthin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

god im trying to remeber what to do give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use myalgebra.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well my calculations say that the positive and negative combine and make something good and its not working lol:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^thts not even the same question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea jc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea haha sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thanks for tryin to help me guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

always

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the medal alex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np:)

@TuringTest

OpenStudy (turingtest):

solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk gotta ask ashley

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what do you get upon solving for y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#Ashley3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ashely3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>-4x+6

OpenStudy (kainui):

Exactly right Ashely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay

OpenStudy (turingtest):

good now, y=(whatever line) is a set of all points on that line \(y\ge(some~~line)\) means "y is greater than or equal to that line" so that would be all the points above the line and including the line that is represented by a whole line (to show that the y= part is included) and shading above (because of the y>... part)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[y>(some~~line)\]means the set of all points above, but \(not\) including the line itself that is represented by a dotted line (to show the absence of the y= part) and shading above (to show the y> part)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol jc

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the same argument applies for \(y\le(whatever)\) and \(y<(whatever)\) only the shading would be below the line instead.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

based on all that, which is your answer?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

"dotted"="dashed"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dashed does not included the origin

OpenStudy (turingtest):

and why do you think the origin is not included? for the origin to be included, the point y=0, x=0 must satisfy the inequality does it?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you are correct, I'm just pressing you for a deeper understanding

OpenStudy (turingtest):

plug in y=0, x=0 and what do you get? y>-4x+6 0>-4(0)+6 0>6 which is not true, hence the point (0,0) (also known as the origin) is not a solution good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks nd thank u

OpenStudy (turingtest):

welcome!
