MEDAL AND FAN PLEASE HELP! Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? A) The correct inequality is not listed. B) 5x+y > or equal to 1 C) 5x+y < or equal to 1 D) 5x-y > or equal to 1

@kal122 do you know this one too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how so? Can you explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im really terrible at this kind of thing and I just wanna learn how :D

@SolomonZelman can you help me? Why is this question A?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Connection snapped, god dang it.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, can you tell me the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good, this is the slope intercept form, but what is the slope based on the graph?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I think we need to assign values for x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not know..... I do not see any points on the graph

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you find the point, (0,0) and point (1,4) for me?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

found them, if so, say "yes".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the slope =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1/x2-x1 so the answer would be 4

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, lets start sketching the y-intercept form, as y=4x but we don't know the y-intercept, can you tell me the y-intercept? (where does the graph hit the x-axis?)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean filling in, not sketching.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, so we are getting, \(\normalsize\color{black}{ y=4x}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, lets take care of the shading, where is it chaded, above or below the line?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the *shaded part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both but more below

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, below:)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, this would mean, \(\normalsize\color{black}{ y\le4x}\) or \(\normalsize\color{black}{ y<4x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y < 4x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

now, when the line is solid, we have \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \le}\) and \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \ge}\) . and when the line is dashed, we have \(\normalsize\color{black}{ <}\) and \(\normalsize\color{black}{ >}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Your line is solid or dashed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so y < or equal to 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its solid! :D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes:) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ y\le 4x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats why its A :D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

is that one of the options?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, right!!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean you can see already, that in options the slope is 5 or -5. So it is alredy wrong once you found the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY thankies soooo much your the bestest! I have one more question can I ask you? Ill open another one so you can get 2 medals?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And you can see that it is wrong, by looking at the y-intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D ^_^

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't care about medals:)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Whatever you want to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you earn them!!!! Your amazing! I open a new question and tag u!!!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sure.
