Select the inequality that corresponds to the given graph.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

2x - 5y >/= -10 x - y > 3 2x - y < -4 x + 2y >/= -8

@AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

which choices can we eliminate first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, you need to find an equation for that line. it looks to be y=2x+4. since the line is dashed, the inequality does not have an "or equal to " part in it. you need to find an equation (out of your choices) that looks like y=2x+4 and does not have an "or equal to" part

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

B and C @AriPotta

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@etemplin oky doky

OpenStudy (aripotta):

a and d, because those lines would be solid*

OpenStudy (aripotta):

does that make sense @Gabylovesyou? >/= and </= are are solid lines. and < and > are dashed. the line in the graph is dashed, so we know it's not a or d

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (aripotta):

we should put b and c into slope-intercept form. do you know what b would look like in slope-intercept form?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

y = mx+b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea, but i mean what would x - y > 3 look like in slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

y = 3x + b ???

OpenStudy (aripotta):

:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. if you want to move x over, you subtract from both sides. Then divide by negative 1 to get y as a positive number. what do you end up with?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

alright, i'll show you how to do b, and then you can do c, ok?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

|dw:1351396254592:dw| do you see how i did that?
