Question

The graph below is represented by which system of inequalities? (Graph in comments)



x − y > 5 and 3x + y > 3

x − y < 5 and 3x + y < 3

x − y < 5 and 3x + y > 3

x − y > 5 and 3x + y < 3

Answer 1

Choose a point in the shaded area and plug the values in each inequality.

I used the point (2,0). Always try to get one of the values = zero. If the origin is included it's a piece of cake.

Answer 2

i dont know what you mean...

Answer 3

Can you see that the point (2,0) is in the shaded area?

Answer 4

yes! so do i have to find that equation that answers to (2,0)

Answer 5

Plug those values for x and y into each of the possible answers, and choose the one that gives a true statement.

Answer 6

okay , gimmie a minute :)

Answer 7

its not choice a

Answer 8

Good

Answer 9

choice c works! its correct for both

Answer 10

You got it!

Answer 11

thank you so much for the help

Answer 12

Sure. Just remember that, if you encounter this type of question again, choose a point in the shaded area, and work through each option.

Have fun.
