How do I work out the equations of these lines? (I know some of them may be obvious but I need a method for none obvious ones)

OpenStudy (amorfide):

OpenStudy (amorfide):

Please note the white part is the area we want, the shaded part is the area we don't want

OpenStudy (rea201):

So we are only finding the equations right?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes, such as y> or equal to x is the obvious one, but I need a method to work them out

OpenStudy (rea201):

Yeah another is y is < or equal to x. And another is x=1

OpenStudy (amorfide):

no they are not. the equations are y> or equal to x x+y < or equal to 8 x> or equal to 1 but I can not work them out

OpenStudy (amorfide):

@satellite73 please help me? I am desperate on time, my exam is in 7 hours and I have not slept yet :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all I see is picture, don't know what you want really?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

I want to work out the equations of the lines from the graph

OpenStudy (amorfide):

I need a method, as I can't work them out. I got the answers of the mark scheme

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so straight verticle line on thee right side is x=1

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes, and I know y=x, but I don't know how I would work out the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other diagonal is x+y=8

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes you can state that it is, but that doesn't help me

OpenStudy (amorfide):

I don't know how you got x+y=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+y=8 set x=0 up there , what do you get 0+y=8 y=8 set y=0 up there, what do you get

OpenStudy (amorfide):

but how do you know it is x+y=8 there must be some method to work that equation out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I got two coordinate (0,8) (8,0) using, y-y1=m(x-x1) (8)=m(-8) m=-1 hence pluging into y=mx+b b is y value when x=0 y=-1x+8 y+x=8

OpenStudy (amorfide):

thank you very much! :D<3
