Real quick question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This question is very simple.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont understand these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. I will help you the best I can. Just wait a minute while I solve it then we will go through the steps. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cops, put 0 in x, 0 in y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(0) + 0 ? 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 <7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. When the sign is facing < way, and the y is on the left of the sign, then y would be less than. Right? So if it was, then y would be less than, so the shaded part of the graph would be going down because if you think about it, the y line is a number line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's sort of hard to eplain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0,0 must be shaded, so 2x+y<7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is not the first one, because y is less than so the shaded part would be upwards if we were following that equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, following my tips, would the solution be 2? Or 3 or 4??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? you plug in 0,0 for the first equation, is that true? then get that equation to slope intercept form to see if the boundary matches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4???????? Im really slow... and dumb... My brain isnt able to think today...haha D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's fine! if you plug in 0,0 and if it turns out that when you plug in 0,0 for x and y, the function would be true, so the shaded part MUST include the origin,(0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Assuming we're just finding the boundary/slope intercept form of the line 2x + y = 7 y= -2x +7 y intercept at 7 slope is -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got that one thanks guys ... What about this one? Im thinking option c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is really easy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok cops that's good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah you got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im guessing option a??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be either 1 or 2 because the line is horizontal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sweet, thanks a lot : )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, I have one moreif thatsok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Throw em at me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright if you look closely, the line is dotted, am I correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep ,So it would be one of these > with a line underneath it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that means immediately 3 and 4 would be the wrong answers because if it was greater or less than or equal to, then the line would be solid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, no it wouldnt be the ones with < or equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the first option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Correct! But let me ask you, why is it option 1? Just so I know that you understand :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm well I saw the -2 .. and because the > thing was pointing that way, and thats the way the graph was shaded.. if that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) sweet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright Glad to help. :)
