Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? Choices: x less than or greater to -1 x greater than or equal to -1 y less than or greater to -1 y greater than or equal to -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Graph

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well you see the grath s above -1 and nculed -1

Nnesha (nnesha):

is there any slope ?? line is touching x'axis or y'axis

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

so what can yuo guess about it?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Shaded from that point means it must >-1 if it was shaded downwards it means <-1 is this y or x axis, what do you think?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

x>=-1

Nnesha (nnesha):

just remember > or equal to mean shade above < or equal to mean shade below the line

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yes

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

It is not x>=1

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hmm wat but it is above -1

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

x>=-1

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

x>=-1 means only from the axis to the right

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

sotty i mstaed in typing y>=-1

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

because every point from there has an x value of -1 or greater

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yeah sorry

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

the asker's graph however shows otherwise

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

the asker has a graph where all y values are >=-1

Nnesha (nnesha):

@love12609784 if line touches only y-axis then you should have horizontal line and if only touches x'axis then you should have vertical line let me know what you think the answer should be ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it B?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its either B or D

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

D

Nnesha (nnesha):

first decide its x or y

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

i just explained why it's not from the values of x

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

because the grath s above y=-1 line and nculeds iit

Nnesha (nnesha):

is it x or y ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry @dtan5457 I was getting confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then it would be the Y

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes, i hope you understand why that is however.

Nnesha (nnesha):

sorry about that i can understand that between explanation if you getting direct answer that can happen

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes its bec its only touching y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I see that

Nnesha (nnesha):

horizontal line y vertical line x hope you understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I do :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

good :)
