Which system is graphed? A. y≤ x + 1 y < –2x – 4 B. y ≤ x + 1 y > –2x – 4 C. y < x + 1 y ≥ –2x – 4 D.y < x + 1 y ≤ –2x – 4

OpenStudy (freemap):

My answer is D

OpenStudy (mathmate):

It could be right or wrong, without seeing the graph itself! :)

OpenStudy (freemap):

oh wow I forget to attach, just a sec

OpenStudy (freemap):

OpenStudy (lynfran):

the broken lines means that its not equal to the equation so C and D out (not correct) ..

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@freemap Do you know how to determine the right inequalities?

OpenStudy (freemap):

May I have example, I'm pretty sure I do Though

OpenStudy (mathmate):

There are certain systematic ways to look at them. Would you me to show you?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@LynFran has shown one of the ways to eliminate choices. There are ways to actually find the answers.

OpenStudy (freemap):

I thought since one line is dashed it would be < or> Since solid line it world be>/ because its greater than or equal to

OpenStudy (mathmate):

First, we look at the inequalities themselves. They are all identical, namely y=x+1 .....(1) has slope 1 and y-intercept 1. So that corresponds to the graphs. y=-2x-4 .....(2) has slope -2 and y-intercept -4, so that also corresponds to the graphs. That means the only criteria lie with the inequality signs. In this case, we have both dotted (strict inequality, > or <) and solid ((\le\) or (\ge\) ) lines, so that should be a first step.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

* \(\le\) or \(\ge\)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The next step is to match the strict inequality, namely equation (2) is a strict inequality. where y>..... You will find that you choose the greater because you can look at the following drawing. |dw:1441116184475:dw|

OpenStudy (freemap):

I see

OpenStudy (mathmate):

For inequality 1, we look at the drawing:|dw:1441116366366:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So can you find the set of equation that satisfies both requirements? |dw:1441116467696:dw|

OpenStudy (lynfran):

woo such perfect explaining ...great job @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@LynFran Thank you! :)

OpenStudy (freemap):

I have no clue I'm still thinking D

OpenStudy (freemap):

>and<

OpenStudy (lynfran):

B would be correct

OpenStudy (freemap):

b and d backwards ok, Thanks

OpenStudy (freemap):

Thanks everyone, I hate graphs
