@Directrix can i give u a medal for this one too, do u think u could help?
Directrix (directrix):
The first task is to solve the inequality.
5 - y < 4
Subtract 5 from both sides
5 - y < 4
-5 -5
----------------
@elizabethroland53 What is the result after subtracting 5 from both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-y<-1?

I did not get that.
Directrix (directrix):
5 - y < 4
-5 -5
----------------
- y < -1 is what I got
5-5 = 0 and 4 - 5 = -1
Directrix (directrix):
Solve this for y:
- y < -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah thats why i said.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it C?

I don't look at the answers until I have something to check.
- y < -1
y > 1 That comes from multiplying both sides by -1. Multiplying an inequality by a negative reverses the order of the inequality.
Directrix (directrix):
We are looking for a graph of y > 1.
Do you still think it is C?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh greater than 1, would be A
Directrix (directrix):
No, it's not C.
C is a graph of x < 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A then?

Option A has a solid dot on 1.
That means 1 is included in the solution.
Option A is a graph of the inequality x >= 1.
That is not what we are graphing.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why is this so confusing!:(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh darn i didnt see the differnce in the little circles, like D?
Directrix (directrix):
A circle on the number means the number is not included.
Option D is the graph of x > 1
