Select the graph that represents the inequality. 2x + 3y < 6 (grpahs below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phi):

You can eliminate 2 choices by remembering which graph use dashed lines and which use a solid line. Do you remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So C and A arent one of the choices?

OpenStudy (phi):

correct. It is down to B or D next, replace x and y with 0 in your relation. you are testing if the point (0,0) works. Does (0,0) work ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes?

OpenStudy (phi):

what you do is replace x with 0 and y with 0 in 2x + 3y < 6 2*0 + 3*0 < 6 is this true? 0+0 < 6 ? 0< 6 ? yes. 0 is less than 6. that means (0,0) should be in the shaded part of the graph only 1 of B or D works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B!!

OpenStudy (phi):

These graphs show all the points that they "want" by shading the area the "works" we just test an easy point like (0,0) because the arithmetic is easy. if (0,0) "works" we pick the graph that shades the area that contains (0,0) if (0,0) did not work, we would pick the other graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its b!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi im right right?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, you are right. It is B

OpenStudy (phi):

I would not have given you a medal if you got it wrong.
