OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

can you pick out the x axis for me?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

|dw:1445824114758:dw| Is it the axis labeled A or B?

OpenStudy (narissa):

i believe its p and l

OpenStudy (narissa):

x is horizontal

OpenStudy (narissa):

and it has to be - cuz its says less than 0

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

(no it is not p and l) right, now remember it is a number line. so the intersection point with the vertical is where x is zero, also called the origin.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

now, we want x less than zero, which as you pointed out means it is negative. Can you shade the negative part of the x axis on my picture?|dw:1445824266380:dw|

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

uhm, that is a point where x would be negative, y would be too, but there are a lot more places

OpenStudy (narissa):

|dw:1445824364659:dw|

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yes, that area also has a negative x. We can show that by shading the axis like so |dw:1445824350844:dw|
