Is there a line under the > sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so that means you have a dotted or dashed line

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you did have a line under the >, then you'd have a solid line

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now plug in (0,0) and see if the inequality is true or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umnmmmm idk how to tell if it is true.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start with y > 2x + 4 and plug in x = 0 and y = 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y > 2x + 4 0 > 2(0) + 4 0 > 0 + 4 0 > 4 is that true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no! :D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the origin, which is the point (0,0), is NOT in the solution set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it! lol the answers C.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct
