Help with matching inequalities?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following inequalities matches the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x > -3 x < -3 y > -3 y < -3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

for starters, what is the equation of a vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like 10 and -8?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x = k is the form of a line that is vertical ... so in this case, we have an x equality something, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so the only question is: is the shading to the left or right of the x line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right? @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1427387300911:dw| to the left so x is less than the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see so x > -3 is the answer?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no, the solution set is not greater than -3 its less than (to the left of) -3 all solutions for x are << that way from -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this? x < -3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh these problems are so confusing :( I have one more help me with it please?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ill try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same question, just different chart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers : 2x + y < 7 2x - y > 7 2x + y < -7 The correct inequality is not listed @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm choosing C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen help asap please!? I think It's C

OpenStudy (amistre64):

test an obvious point, like the origin (since it is clearly in the shaded region) if that point provides a true result, then that narrows down the options. 0,0 is a good test simply because it wipes out one side completely 0 < 7 0 > 7 0 < -7 or none of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 please respond need to leave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so d? wow.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A is looking pretty good to me
