Question

When we graph the inequality 4x-2y ≥0, why can’t we just use (0,0) as a test point? If we test the point (6, -5), do we obtain a false statement or a true one?

Answer 1

because (0,0) lies on the line that you are trying to test
and therefore would give you no information to determine which side of the line is true

Answer 2

to test the point (6,-5) just substitute the values into 4x-2y
4(6)-2(-5)≥0
and determine whether this is true or false

Answer 3

because it is bigger or equal too zero

Answer 4

I am not getting this

Answer 5

the second part of the question

Answer 6

solve it first, and then determine whether the answer is greater than 0
if it is, then it is true
if it is not, then it is false

Answer 7

true?

Answer 8

it is greater than zero

Answer 9

then it is a true statment

Answer 10

Thank you!
