The graph below represents which system of inequalities?
y <= -2x + 3
y <= x + 3
y >= -2x + 3
y >= x + 3
y <= -3x + 2
y <= -x + 2
y > -2x + 3
y > x + 3

Hint:
the lines in the graphs have slope of different signs (one slope is positive, the other is negative)
the shading of the final region is in the southern most region, so it is the result of shading below the line (for each inequality)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
let me know if that helps or not
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I know how to do it, but when i did the graphs, none matched the one they gave me. Can you just show me the answer?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well using my hints above, this rules out choice C
this is because choice C has two negative slopes

choice D is out because those inequalities in choice D would have shadings above the lines
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
same with B, so B is out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its not C, could it be A?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
leaving choice A as the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh. haha thanks!

it's A, since that is the only choice with shadings below the lines and slopes of different signs

Which of the following points lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities?
y <= x - 5
y <= -x - 4
A) (1, 10)
B) (-1, 10)
C) (10, 1)
D) (1, -10)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for each choice, plug in the point into each inequality
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if you get 2 true results, then that point is in the solution set

its not B, right?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
correct, B is out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And so is A, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I cant tell if A is out, or the answer.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
A is out

y <= x - 5
10 <= 1 - 5
10 <= -4
which is FALSE
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that's why A is out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay and so D is out to, right?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no D is actually the answer, not sure how you eliminated D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
me either. But yay!

Which of the following points lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities?
y < -3x + 3
y < x + 2
A) (1, -5)
B) (1, 5)
C) (5, 1)
D) (-1, 5)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
hmm probably going too fast, idk lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
this is the same type of problem
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
check each answer choice by plugging in the point and make sure it makes both inequalities true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
C is out though, right? i just want you to go over them with me so i don't get them wrong.

Jim?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok sry, one sec
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
currently graphing it atm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okays. I think its D but im probably wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or A..

C is definitely out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what i thought lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
D is not in the solution set either, so that's out too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so A?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
A is correct since that's in the solution set
