campbell_st · Answer

they seem to be asking which point is in the blue area

amistre64 · Answer

.. or on the line if need be

anonymous · Answer

So is the answer, (5,-3)?

amistre64 · Answer

at worst .... define the inequality and input the given points into it

amistre64 · Answer

is (5,-3) in the white, or blue area?

anonymous · Answer

White area

anonymous · Answer

No, it is asking which section the point must be in to make the inequality true. So, it is asking for the point in the white part, that does not touch the blue boundary.

amistre64 · Answer

the line looks to be:  y = 3x/5 - 3

0,0 is in the shade

0 ?=? 0 - 3,  >=

therefore:

y >= 3x/5 - 3  provides the solution set

amistre64 · Answer

there are more than one point "in the white area" to picking a unique solution would be impossible of the white area was the solution set

anonymous · Answer

I believe its 0,-4.

amistre64 · Answer

if 0,-4 is a solution, then so is 5,-3

anonymous · Answer

There is more than one point in the blue area, dude.

amistre64 · Answer

prove it :)

amistre64 · Answer

5,-3 is below 5,0

0,-4 is below 0,-3

therefore we have at least 2 options that are fully in the white area

anonymous · Answer

Lol, bye math genius.

anonymous · Answer

Ok thanks for the help :D

amistre64 · Answer

-2,-6 is also fully in the white area, that would leave the remaining option as the correct solution :)

amistre64 · Answer

thought that was a -6 ... -2,6 is clearly above the line in the blue
