Can someone please explain how I can figure out which of the following inequalities matches the graph because I am not understanding? A.-6x+y<3 B.6x+y<3 C.6x-y<3 D.the correct inequality is not listed Will medal and fan

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

first write the equation of the dotted line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not understanding this at all. What do you mean by the equation of the dotted line?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

|dw:1445733256933:dw|

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

find the slope and y-intercept...

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is y intercept 1/2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope, please look at the graph again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im having a hard time when it is just a graph let me look again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yeah, now find the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yippie the y intercept is alway where it crosses when x is 0 correct now the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really sure would it be 1/3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

use the slope formula if you are unsure two points on the graph are (0,3) and (1,9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/1 =6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid is the slope 6

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes so the equation is y = 6x + 3 now on to the inequality part

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

since its shaded above the line, we conclude that the inequality must be y > 6x + 3 we can rewrite this as 3 < y - 6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so out of my answers this answer is not there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid am i right the answer is not listed. could we go back and could you tell me how you got your point (0,3) and (1,9) i have a test soon and would like to know how to get everything :)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yea it;s not listed

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

I just picked two points that were on the dotted line...
