Which of the following inequalities matches the graph?
3x - 2y >/= 4 3x - 4y </= 2 3x - 2y </= 4 The correct inequality is not listed.
@Gabylovesyou did you try this?
well idk how to :p and hi!! lol
could you plot an equation like \[3x+2y=6\]
please explain how to :)
OK, let's work
ok
@gaby we'll look at the plot, and then we'll write the equation
ok
First step is to find the points where the plot cuts the x and y axis. Could you tell me the two points?
@Gabylovesyou ?
mmmmm 0,-2 and 0,1??
0, -2 is the point where it cuts the y-axis The point on x- axis is not clear, I think it's half but I'm not sure. Let's use this point to shortlist the options, ignore the inequalities and check which options satisfy the point 0,-2 put x=0 and check if y=-2, if it is then that option gets into our short list.
for the first one it would be y </= -2
ignore the inequality for now so it's y=-2, shortlisted !
ok..
check the other options
the second is y = -1/2
so it's not in the list :)
the third one is y = -2
so it's in the list. Now put y=0 and see what do you get for x?
for the third one i get x = 4/3
the first one is x = 4/3
now look in the plot does it look like 4/3 or 1.3333
1.3333 ??
4/3=1.3333 in the plot where the graph cuts the x -axis, could it be (1.333, 0) ?
there is such thing?? lol if there is then yes if not then no
if you look carefully, you'd see that the distance from 1, 0 to the point where the line cuts the x-axis is half of the distance from the point to 2
* (2, 0)
yesss
so we have got the equation of the line, ignore the inequalities \[3x-2y=4\]
ok.. what do i do?
did you understand till here?
yes
@ash2326
Now we need to find the equality corresponding to the shaded area
how
We have two options \[3x-2y \le4\] \[3x-2y\ge 4\] Choose a point from the shaded region, any point
-2,2
Given two points, you can find the equation of the straight line between them. So the solid line itself will be in the form of y = mx + b. If the line is sold and everything below is shaded, then it's y <= mx + b. If everything above is shaded, then it's y >= mx + b. If the line is dotted, then this implies the line itself isn't included, so it's y < mx + b or y > mx + b.
put x=-2 and y=2 in both of the inequalities and see which one is satisfied
the first one..
good, so that's our answer. Do you understand this?
yes thank u!!
welcome :)
