@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

First, you should be able to figure out the equations of the dotted lines. That's whittle down a few choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not a or b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All the y intercepts and x intercepts add up. And they aren't equal to or greater than, so therefore they have a dotted line. To test the direction of the coloured area, you need to sub in the origin and see if it works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not a or b, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, can you help me with another?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Righto.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its question number 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you look at the other options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only difference is that the second equation shows that y is lesser than or equal to and the answer A says that the second equation is y is greater than or equal to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay I get it so if it is > I shade up < down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would have to be B. You just need to figure out what direction the coloring will be. For that you substitute y=0 and y=0. If it makes sense, then the graph will color the area that the origin is located.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, can you help with another?
