will fan, medal and testimonial...i really dont get this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: Using the graph above, create a system of inequalities that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions. Explain how the lines will be graphed and shaded on the coordinate grid above. (5 points) Part B: Explain how to verify that the points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities created in Part A. (3 points) Part C: Timothy can only attend a school in his designated zone. Timothy's zone is defined by y < 3x - 3. Explain how you can identify the schools that Timothy is allowed to attend. (2 points)

For Part A I put y<-2x+5..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@aum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to make a system of inequalities.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That means more than one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make one inequality to the left of D, and one to the right of E.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i figured lol :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you having troubles finding a line that'll fit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm having trouble with the entire thing, really..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i've been working on the same test for close to 3 hours and this is the last question lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A practice test, I'm assuming.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, actually :p. i'd be screwed if it weren't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you shed some light on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, for Part A, I'd start out by finding the equation of the line that has the points C and B. Then, find the equation of the line that has the points A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

....can you do that for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not much point when you'll have to do this eventually, right? Just find the slope (rise over run), then use the equation y - y1 = m(x-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll...never have to do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example, for the line with points C (2,1) and B (-4, -2), the slope would be 3/6 or 2. The equation would be y - 1 = 2(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would then rearrange that equation to isolate for y, then change it into an appropriate inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll give it a shot i guess, thanks :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@aum pls
