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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is bigger or equal too zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not getting this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second part of the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is greater than zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it is a true statment
