Which inequality matches the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A) -2x + 3y > 7 B) 2x – 3y < 7 C) -3x + 2y ≥ 7 D) 3x – 2y ≤ 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Firejay5 Please help, I'll give you a metal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hhelpplzzzz @TheSmartOne @talita @annon1123 Please help And I'll give a metal to whoever helps me answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TheSmartOne @TheGh0st Please

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Hi there :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im just so tired D-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TheSmartOne You made my day thank you SO MUCH

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So do you know what the line will look like if it has \(\ge\) or \(\le\) compared to if the equation has < or > ?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Will the line be dotted or solid if the equation has \(\ge\) or \(\le\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes Im like astronomical in any subject but math. If it has a line under it it means for example "<" wih a line under it less than or equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be solid if it had a line under it

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So which 2 choices does that eliminate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A & B? :D?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Remember in our graph we have a solid line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the graph DOES have a solid line?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Well the graph you attached it has a solid line. Doesn't it? http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/54e6bfc1e4b0acb50ce86bde-einsteinpart2-1424408542126-cusersjoydesktoptiredasf.gif So then we said that the line must have \(\ge\) or \(\le\) in it. So which choices do not have that, so we can eliminate them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because \[\le / \ge \approx Bracket (Or Solid Line)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we know it cant be C or D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Before we go any further, I would like to tell you that you need to be a math teacher when you get older. You have an amazing way of explain things :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Why can't it be C or D? The graph you gave has a solid line. And when you have \(\ge\) you will also have a solid line then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok wait, Im sorry I keep having to scroll up. It would be C or D because they both hae closed brackets

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Exactly :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we can eliminate the optionof A & B.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So now to find out which one is correct. C or D.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes, we can eliminate A & B :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok your gonna think Im dumb, but this is where I get confused :(. But I also haven't slet in 2 days studing I appriciat your help so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You there?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes, I am here :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ty

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\cancel{ A) -2x + 3y > 7}\) \(\cancel{B) 2x - 3y < 7}\) C) -3x + 2y \(\ge\) 7 D) 3x - 2y \(\le\) 7

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So now to find out which one is correct, C or D.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So to do that, we choose a test point from our graph. Choose a point that is in the shaded region and we plug it into our equation. If the point works, then we have gotten the right equation. If the point doesn't work, We have gotten the wrong equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Y \rightarrow3 / X \rightarrow-2.5\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So chose a point from the graph that is in the shaded region, and tell me the coordinates.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

The x and y coordinates. like (x,y) . And this point should lie in the shaded region of this line :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left( -6,7 \right)\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yup that point will absolutely work! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=D!!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

ok so that point is (-6,7) and that is in the form of (x,y)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So basically \(\sf x= -6\) and \(\sf y=7\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

C) -3x + 2y \(\ge\) 7 D) 3x - 2y \(\le\) 7 And so which equation do you want to chose? So then we plug in those numbers here :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C =D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT NO NONONON I MESSSED IUP IMENT 2'

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So lets plug in the numbers into C

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Sorry, i thought you meant C = D But you actually put up a smiley face. haha =D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was looking at c :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait no I think its c =/

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes, we will plug in the numbers into C. \(\sf -3x + 2y \ge 7\) and \(\sf x= -6\) and \(\sf y=7\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So basically plug in the numbers :) \(\sf -3x + 2y \ge 7\) \(\sf x= -6\) and \(\sf y=7\) \(\sf -3(\color{red}{-6}) + 2(\color{red}{7}) \ge 7\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.M.G. I cannot thank you enough you are literally the most patient the best teaching person I have EVER MET in my life you honestly taught me SO MUCH just now and im not just saying that

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

haha, now don't flatter me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im serious if you ever need ANYTHING im here THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)))))

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So lets solve this and see if 'C' is the correct answer choice. If after solving this, and it isn't correct, we can assume that 'D' would be the correct answer choice without having to work it out :) \(\sf -3(\color{red}{-6}) + 2(\color{red}{7}) \ge 7\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so \[32 \le 7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I thought we where done for a sec XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a metal o_O

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So you did: \(\sf -3(\color{red}{-6}) + 2(\color{red}{7}) \ge 7\) \(\sf \color{red}{18} + \color{red}{14} \ge 7\) \(\sf \color{red}{32} \ge 7\) But then why did you flip the sign? we had \(\sf\ge\). You made it \(\sf\le\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@EinsteinPart2 I gave you the medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks!!!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So is \(\large\sf 32\ge7\) correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I thought youonly switch the sign when it is a negative number'

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You can only switch the sign when you \(\bf\underline{DIVIDE}\) both sides by a \(\bf\underline {NEGATIVE}\) number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Eg If it was \[-6 \le 12\] It would turn into \[1\ge2\] However if it was positive it would stay the same \[7\ge14\] \[1\ge2\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Exactly :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh I see! Hey well than you for everthing! =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It really means a lot, I'll talk to you soon ok? =)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Sure :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So you got your answer as C, right? @EinsteinPart2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!!!=D
