In simple terms, the question is asking which point is in the shaded area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be b? (6,3)

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

the shaded area is the solution to the inequality. so any point not in the shaded area shouldn't be considered a solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c and d arent

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

remember, there are some rules and regulations for this

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

For the first one, any point that falls inside the shaded area is a solution for the inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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.

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

First, let's talk about A. Can we eliminate that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe so

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

You are correct! Can you tell me why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

nice! So we know that A cannot be the answer? How about B? what are you opinions on that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe B may be correct

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

hmm. you may want to think again. While this point lies on a solid line, is that line bordering the shaded area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its not

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Nice! So what are your opinions on C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well for c -2 does fall on the solid line

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

(0,-2)? I'm pretty sure that it falls on a dotted line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops my mistake, i got mixed u with the lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

up*

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you explain cause im not to sure of to why it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that 4 is in the shaded area but not so sure about -6

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized -6 is also in the shaded area

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll be sure to remember

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

alright. So the answer is D. for the first one. Now, let's discuss the second one, and use the same method as before

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

the point of (0,0) falls right in the origin. So what lines does that touch?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it touches the dotted line

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

correct. Based from this information, which answer can we eliminate?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@kittymeow101

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be B?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be C
