HELP, EASY QUESTION FOR MEDAL
whats up?
Which of the following graphs represents the inequality \[-6>\frac{ x }{ 2 }-4\] A. https://media.education2020.com/evresources/2003-06-03-00-00_files/i0090001.jpg B. https://media.education2020.com/evresources/2003-06-03-00-00_files/i0090002.jpg C. https://media.education2020.com/evresources/2003-06-03-00-00_files/i0090003.jpg D. https://media.education2020.com/evresources/2003-06-03-00-00_files/i0090004.jpg

Can you help me? i dont understand it
ok!
thanks
first step: we have to draw this line: \[y = \frac{x}{2} - 4\] in order to do that, we can note that such line passes at point \((0,-4)\), and at point \((8,0)\) For example, if I replace x=0, I get: \(y= (0/2)-4=-4\), namely the point \((0,-4)\). SImilarly if I replace \(y=0\), I get \(x=8\)
okay
so here is such line: |dw:1455137099930:dw|
alright
aw the line \(y=-6\): |dw:1455137236920:dw|
sorry, my browser doesn't work well. I meant now I draw the line \(y=-6\)
Its fine
Sorry, there is a more simple method. Here it is. I add \(4\) to both sides so I get: \[ - 6 + 4 > \frac{x}{2} - 4 + 4\] and therefore: \[ - 2 > \frac{x}{2}\]
okay
is it an open circle?
now how do i graph that on a number line
no, no, we can solve such inequality, without thpeometry of cartesian coordinates. next I multiply both sides by \(2\), so I get: \[\left( { - 2} \right) \cdot 2 > \frac{x}{2} \cdot 2\] please simplify
oops.. I meant without the support of the geometry of the cartesian coordinates
x less than or equal to -4
that's right!!
okay now how do i graph?
sorry, it is: \(x<-4\)
I meant less than*****
sorry i didnt mean the equal to part lol
it is simple: |dw:1455137878549:dw| the solution set, is the set of all points at the left of \(-4\). the point \(-4\) doesn't belong to such solution set
so the answer is B
??
are you sure?
Im asking if that answer is correct
Its the only one that looks like it
I think option B is wrong
option A?
you have to search for the option which is equal to my drawing
Option B is the exact same
option B contains the points at the right of \(-4\)
idk then
i have 2 min to answer
what about option D ?
that looks right
