A system of linear inequalities is shown below. x - y > 3 y + x ≤ 2 Describe the steps to graph the solution set to the system of inequalities. (10 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay yes I was correct sorry I doubted myself there.. You want to solve the equations for y

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-y>3 -y>3-x y<x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y</=-x+2

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Well you need to solve first ik that

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

but it says to graph it

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

like the steps >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They want it graphed on coordinate plane correct?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

yes i think so... i dont know... can you show me both?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

just in case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I can show you y<x-3 look at it like an equation in slope-intercept form. Since there is nothing infront of the x it is a slope of 1 and it has a y intercept of -3. But you don't graph this one like a normal line, since it is not less than or equal to you must graph a dashed line

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

oh ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is more you have to do too, after you have graphed both of them

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

It says to show steps though...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay what you do is you go on the y axis, count down 3 units, go up 1 and over 1 then draw a dashed line through them and lightly shade underneath the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The shading i the solution to the first inequality, where the shading overlaps is the solution of the set

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

oh o and what about graphing on a number line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I forgot how to graph them on a number line it has been so long... can anyone else help ?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

lol

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

its ok

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

isnt it closed or open circle and a bunch of shading?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I know that but we still have x in our inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@IMStuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

closed circle is for less than or equal to/greater than or equal to. open circle is just for less than or greater than

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

thank you guyz!
