Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? (Look at picture below) x > 4 x < 4 y > 4 y < 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shaded area represents included values. So, do you think any values of x are excluded?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@L.T.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x? Look at the graph. Where do you see an x that isn't included? I'm sorry if I confused you; I meant to lead you through the process of elimination

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its x > 4, because it below the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the y axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or wait is it y<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i'm just confused..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the problem is that you confused the x and y axes. Vertical is y. horizontal is x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! Haha okay.. can you help me with this one? Would it be y <= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are the answer choices x <= 0 x >= 0 y <=0 y >=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you've got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this one? It's set up differently @L.T.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choices The correct inequality is not listed. 5x + y >= 1 5x + y <=1 5x - y >= 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a special way this problem is almost the same as the others: perhaps you can figure out what I mean. The solutions are less than or equal to the line; so, in order to solve, you have to find the equation of the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x - y >= 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, and if you want to you can solve for y
