Please help. :( -2y > 2 (Answers in a image)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2y > 2 we will want to 'isolate y' so we want to get it alone. to do this, we will divide both sides by the number that is with the y right now. that number is -2 can you do the rest on this? \[\frac{ -2y }{ -2 } >\frac{ 2 }{ -2 } \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanna say its either a or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im going with D I guess??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was leaning more towards d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Objection why guess when i'm willing to teach you how to do it the right way? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll teach both of you..,.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2/-2 = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DemolisionWolf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and any time we divide or times by a negative number, we have to flip the direction of the inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we divided by a -2, so we have to flip the direction from > to <

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Meaning <?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its y < 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's easier to learn and do it right than guess ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome. message me if you want help later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is C though right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the equation we have: y < -1 since its a < symbol not a less-than-or-equal-to symbol, it means the circle on the number line is empty. the -1 means that is where the dot on the number line will be. and the y<-1 means that we fill in the number line from -1 to all the numbers less than -1 |dw:1384543594595:dw|
