quadrant graphing help? will medal

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

Given, which of the following describes the boundary line and shading for the second inequality in the system? solid line, shade below dashed line, shade below dashed line, shade above solid line, shade above

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

OpenStudy (phi):

if there is a "solid" line under the < or >, you graph the line with a solid line i.e. \( \le\) means use a solid line. just < means use a dashed line.

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

well when i graphed it it had both a solid, and a dashed ad it was shaded to the left lol thats why i got confused

OpenStudy (phi):

when you write y>x this says y is bigger than x notice the "big end" of the > is next to the bigger side, and the small end of > is next to the smaller side

OpenStudy (phi):

they are asking about the *second* inequality they are asking just about \[ y \ge x-4 \]

OpenStudy (phi):

so you should be able to eliminate some of the choices, right?

OpenStudy (phi):

do you use solid or dashed for \[ y \ge x-4\]?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

solid

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. that means either first or last choice next, does \[ y \ge x-4\] mean y is bigger than the right side or less than the right side ? remember when you write y>x this says y is bigger than x notice the "big end" of the > is next to the bigger side, and the small end of > is next to the smaller side

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

bigger right?

OpenStudy (phi):

is y is bigger. next, as y gets bigger do you go up or down ?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

sorry im working on other work ^-^

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

um up i think

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, to go up, you make y bigger. anyway, the "good y's" are the y's that are bigger than the line y=x-4 or in other words, the y's above the line. we shade in the "good y's"

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

so its the last choice?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

aw sweet i get it now

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

would this one be solid, and down?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

if you are talking about the second relation, yes, solid, shaded below
