Inequalities....please please help me I don't understand!
is anyone here?
I need to know which inequality matches the picture shown
nanabenyin? I see that you're viewing my question. can you help me?
hey?
hi
Whats the choices? That would help much
can u see that there is a horizontal line drawn on the graph
all of the little "<" ">" things have lines under them The possible answers are: x<-1 x>-1 y<-1 y>-1
@Dandave09 yes
desperado can u see a horizontal line drawn
yes
ok now along that line the y coordinate is always -1 so we call that line y=-1. as the shading is done above that line where the y values are bigger. it is y > -1
thank you sooo much! can you help me with a few more?
go for it
it's basically the same thing here
the answers could be: x>-3 x<-3 y>-3 y<-3 this time the "<" ">" signs don't have lines under them
this time ist is vertical. so it is an x line. you can see every point on that line has an x coordinateof -3 so the line is x=-3. Now the shading is all the x values less than -3 as it is to the left. so x<-3
thank you <3 ! you're a life saver!
can you help me with two more? haha. I'm sorry if this is too much I'm trying to learn though?
go on then try and tell me what you think the answer is
ok this one is a bit different though
I think the answer is Y<3/2x+3 (The < has a little line under it)
so in this case, how would we find the answer?
ok first of all you need to find the equation of the line, can you do that
what do you mean?
in the graph there is a line yh, that seperates the shadings. so you find the gradient and y-intercept (y=mx+c)
I love solving inequalities
i wish i could but i honestly have no clue how to? lol
The possible answers are: y<1/3x+3 y<3/2x+3 y>3/2x+3 the correct inequality is not listed both choice B and C have lines under the signs
desperado you have to find the equation of the line. y=mx+c is the equation of the line. m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. in ths graph 3 is the y intercept and the gradient is the change in y (3) divided by the change in x (2) so m=3/2 c=3 so y=3/2x+3. Now pick a point (0,0) for example so 0= 0+3 so 0 <3 so u know the enquality is that is that way round. then u pick a point which is on the line and if boths sdes are equal u put the line under th sign. I have to go, hope this helps
thank you! you're brilliant! <3
