I Will give a medal Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph? x – 3y > 6 and y ≥ 2x + 4 x + 3y > 6 and y ≥ 2x – 4 x – 3y > 6 and y ≥ 2x – 4 x + 3y > 6 and y ≥ 2x + 4

@dan815 could you please help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the solid line, what is the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The equation of a line is y=mx + b where b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since it is a solid line, the equation must have the ≥ sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would be the equation of that line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking d but I dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the y-int +4 or -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what answer choices can we rule out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now lets look at the other line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the y-int

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does the dotted line cross the vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the equations and get y by itself on one side of the inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x – 3y > 6 and x + 3y > 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
