So that crosses out B and D?
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
B
OpenStudy (anonymous):
: / I dont think its b.... because the y doesn't go to -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I would think it would be C :o

I give you a trick.
OpenStudy (loser66):
if you say the solution is C, that is x-2y >5, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
OpenStudy (loser66):
now, pick any point in the graph and test. I pick (1,0) ok?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

so, x =1, y=0, and 1-2*0 = 1
is it >5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No it is greater than 5
OpenStudy (loser66):
1 <5, right? so C is not a solution.
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
B i think lser66 check
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
pick up a coordinate and check

ok, let's check B) , it is x-3y<5 , just do with (1,0)
1 - 3 *0 =1 < 5 yeah!!!
OpenStudy (loser66):
do other point to make sure. pick (0,1)
0-3*1 =-3 <5 , yeah again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:3 wonderful! Thank you for helping me @Loser66 and @AlexandervonHumboldt2 ! :D
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
I think A and C can not be your answer because they provide points, whose y is y<...
I think neither D is your answer because the line should b have the equation x-2y=5, which is not your line. So by exclusion I think D.
