PLEASE HELP ME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to graph the lines? just like regular slope intercept form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once you graph the lines pick a spot on the graph and plug it into the equation then see if it solves it, if it doesn't solve it the shade in the other direction and pick a point from the shaded side and use that as one of the possible solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ednac i dont know how please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so lets take the equation: y>2x+2. What information do we have with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slop and the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so graph the point of the y intercept and apply the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do that much?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont i have to shade a side in ? and i'll try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you check it to see if it is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are getting to the shading, but first you need a line, and yes i can check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no we have a positive slope here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and its rise over run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the slope is going up 2 and over 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

up 2 over to the right 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is because the slope is positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is almost right... Why did you move the y intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y intercept is always (0,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now pick a point on the graph, i like to use (0,0) because it is easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and plug it into the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and tell me if it makes the equation correct or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have an inequality which means there is more than one answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in order to know which side you need to shade, you must pick a point on some side of the line to see if the point solves it or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so try plugging in (0,0) and see if it makes the equation correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think you would shade in the left side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you can be sure if you plug it in and see if (0,0) solves it or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the outcome when you plug in (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ii dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the point then to this inequality (0,0) into y>2x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0>2(0)+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get 0>2 yes so that means it isn't correct so shade for that line the side opposite of (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now try the other line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show me the line and where to shade and ill help if you need it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ednac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the first line, try the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also what grade is this in math?

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

your hot

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

yeah

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

prob 8 or 9

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

im 10 and age is 19

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

Ednac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ednac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know this one
