Can someone take me step by step on how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats your question bud

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm a girl lol and this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh im sorry if i offended you ma'am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's fine and I'm 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what you have to do is plug in the x and y coordinates with the cooresponding numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when you do that you have to make sure both of the equations come out true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you like an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, i'm sorry my internet had gone out for a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like this \[-4>-2\] where i substituted y for -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract it from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing needs to be subtracted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just plugging numbers in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in an ordered pair x is the first number and y is the second (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, not at all I'm actually confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lemme try to explain this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you see the numbers with the parenthesis around them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so those are coordinates or ordered pairs which can also be written as (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you understanding so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait so I'd pair those numbers as coordinates then....right?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it'd be (-4,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are only coordinates if we are working with a graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right now they are ordered pairs or (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so as u said (-4,2) would be one of the coordinate pairs where -4 is the x and 2 is the y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so try top use one of the answers that are given and plug in their x and y value into the equation that was given at the top of the page if u need I can demonstarte

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really wish I could stay and finish but I really need quick help so I got to go thank you anyhow...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can just tell you the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay that's fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the second option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Never mind I was confused and the second question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to contemplate for a second just wait like 1 minutre ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the first option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i get a medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thank you very much
