IM SORRRRRY HAYDEN its been a while and i have not retained this information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ITS OKA! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ltrout you know?

OpenStudy (ltrout):

This one shouldn't be too hard. Since y = x, any point that lies on that line is a solution. While, since y > x, any point that is greater than x would be a solution. BUT, since y > x, none of its solutions will be the same solution for y = x. IF you graph y = x you can have these solutions (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) etc. However, if you graph y > x you can have the solutions (1,2) (2,3) etc. So, the solutions for y > x will NEVER be the same as for y = x. Does this help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhm no :( i dont get any of that lol

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Here, go to this website: https://www.desmos.com/calculator And put y = x and below it put y > x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay it graphed it

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Okay, do you see how the left part is shaded blue but it has a dotted line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Alright, everywhere there is blue is a solution for y > x. The line for y = x are the only solutions for y = x. Since y > x has a dotted line, any point that falls on that line would not be a solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (ltrout):

So based off of that information, which answer choice do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since its not a solution

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Yes A would be correct since they won't have the same solutions

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Yep you got it! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! now go enjoy your lunch lol

OpenStudy (ltrout):

Alright, I'm going to go get some lunch I'll be on in about 30 minutes or so.
