In simple terms, the question is asking which point is in the shaded area.
would it be b? (6,3)
the shaded area is the solution to the inequality. so any point not in the shaded area shouldn't be considered a solution.
c and d arent
@Jamierox4ev3r
remember, there are some rules and regulations for this
For the first one, any point that falls inside the shaded area is a solution for the inequalities
ok
also, any point that falls on a solid line, as long as it borders the shaded area, is also acceptable so let's eliminate answers together for the first one.
First, let's talk about A. Can we eliminate that?
i believe so
You are correct! Can you tell me why?
because there is only one six that falls in the shaded area, and the other positive six is not in the shaded area or on the solid line
nice! So we know that A cannot be the answer? How about B? what are you opinions on that?
I believe B may be correct
hmm. you may want to think again. While this point lies on a solid line, is that line bordering the shaded area?
no its not
right. Therefore, it doesn't fall into the solution set for both equations, and is eliminated as a possible answer choice. Does that make sense to you?
yes it does
Nice! So what are your opinions on C?
well for c -2 does fall on the solid line
(0,-2)? I'm pretty sure that it falls on a dotted line.
oops my mistake, i got mixed u with the lines
up*
it's fine, as long as you realize why that isn't correct. Now we know that D is correct, since we eliminated the others. But can you tell me why?
could you explain cause im not to sure of to why it is D
I know that 4 is in the shaded area but not so sure about -6
if you locate the point (-6,4), you'll see that it is in the first quadrant. think, -6 to the left, 4 up. And that falls perfectly in the shaded region|dw:1447665521469:dw|
I just realized -6 is also in the shaded area
make sure that you know the differences though! (-6,4) is in the shaded region but (4,-6) is not. Be sure to check for y variables and x variables when you are given a coordinate.
I'll be sure to remember
alright. So the answer is D. for the first one. Now, let's discuss the second one, and use the same method as before
the point of (0,0) falls right in the origin. So what lines does that touch?
it touches the dotted line
correct. Based from this information, which answer can we eliminate?
@kittymeow101
would it be B?
Close, but not quite. If you look closely, it does satisfy more than one equality. However it does not satisfy the y < -x inequality, so therefore, (0,0) is not a part of the solution set
so it would be C
