Which of these is the solution to this system of linear equations

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

2y>=4x-1 y<=2x+4 y<=2x+4 2y>=x-4

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

@bibby

OpenStudy (bibby):

what are you typing?

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

nothing ?

OpenStudy (bibby):

oh, it said you were typing for like 5 minutes. I don't really know how to do these so I'm gonna go with trial and error. Let's start by picking a random point in the shaded area. (1,1)

OpenStudy (bibby):

plug it into each inequality and cross out the ones where it doesn't fit

OpenStudy (bibby):

for example 2(1)>=4(1)-1 \(2\ge 4-1\\2 \ge 3 \longrightarrow false\) so we can cancel that choice

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

okay so are we plugging in and solving ?

OpenStudy (bibby):

we canceled A by plugging in (1,1) to each inequality Try it with (-1,1)

OpenStudy (bibby):

I just realized choices b and c are the same

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

so do i plug in 1,1 tot he rest to ?

OpenStudy (bibby):

I already did that last night, nothing else canceled

OpenStudy (bibby):

Can you rewrite the choices?

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

ys one sec

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

y<=2x+4 2y>=4x-1 2y>=x-4 y<=4x+2

OpenStudy (bibby):

well, that's different

OpenStudy (bibby):

is that A B C and D?

OpenStudy (janettevegaa):

yess

OpenStudy (bibby):

...and you're only supposed to pick one?
