Inequalities: 1. x+2y is bigger than or equal to 6 2. x-2y>4 3. y>3+(1/2)x 4. 4y+2x is smaller than or equal to 16

@aum Help please?

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ x + 2y \ge 6 \\ 2y \ge -x + 6 \\ y \ge -\frac 12 x + 3 \]The graph of this will be a solid line (not a dashed line) that has a negative slope and has an y-intercept of +3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, B?

OpenStudy (aum):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I would follow those same steps on the other ones, too?

OpenStudy (aum):

Yes. Some useful hints: If it is \(\ge\) or \(\le\) then it will be a solid line. If it is \(\gt\) or \(\lt\) then it will be a dashed line. If the slope is negative, the line will make more than 90 degrees with the positive x-axis. If the slope is positive, the line will make less than 90 degrees with the positive x-axis.

Okay, thank you very much!

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ x-2y \gt 4 \\ x > 4 + 2y \\ x - 4 > 2y \\ \frac 12x - 2 > y \\ y < \frac 12x - 2 \]Because of the \( \lt \) sign, the line will be a dashed line. Because the slope is positive, the line will make less than 90 degrees with the positive x-axis. The y-intercept will be -2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B1, D2, A3, C4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right? @aum

OpenStudy (aum):

You are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! Thank you again.
