@Nnesha could u help maybe?:((

@Directrix could u help please?:(

Directrix (directrix):

The boundary line of the graph is dashed. That means that whatever the inequality is, it will not have an equal to as part of it. No >= or <= cuts out two of the options. Do you see the two options that can be eliminated? @elizabethroland53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and D?

Directrix (directrix):

A and D do not have an = symbol as part of the inequality. A and D are the two options that stay and from which we have to decide is the correct one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my bad

Directrix (directrix):

The graph shaded is above the dashed boundary line. The values of y above the dashed boundary line are the ones to select.

Directrix (directrix):

Of the remaining two options, which one is strictly greater than. > and not < in the inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would make it y<, so D?

Directrix (directrix):

Greater than, > Option D is less than.

Directrix (directrix):

Try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so if the shade is on the bottom THEN its less than?

Directrix (directrix):

Correct, provided the boundary line is dashed. If the shade is on the bottom and the boundary line is solid, then <= (less than or equal to)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A:))

Directrix (directrix):

Correct.

sweet thanks(:
