The graph below represents which system of inequalities?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A) y < −2x + 6 y < x + 2 B) y ≤ −2x + 6 y ≤ x + 2 C) y < 2 over 3x − 2 y > 2x + 2 D) None of the above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino can you help please

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we have two lines the equation of this line: |dw:1457896416158:dw| is \(y=x+2\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the equation of the second line, is: \(y=-2x+6\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

|dw:1457896552079:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, the green region is the region of all points which are located below both the lines \(y=x+2\) and \(y=-2x+6\), namely whose \(y-\)coordinates are less than \(x+2\) and \(-2x+6\) so, what can you conclude?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure what you are asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I ask, using my notes above, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of the above?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: here are the points below the line \(y=x+2\) |dw:1457897380388:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here are the points below the line \(y=-2x+6\) |dw:1457897454885:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, here are the points below to \(both\) lines \(y=x+2\) and \(y=-2x+6\) |dw:1457897530215:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

which is the green region of the drawing you provided

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the third one

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: the points below the line \(y=x+2\) check this condition: \(y< x+2\) similarly, the points below the line \(y=-2x+6\), check this condition: \(y<-2x+6\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the points below to \(both\) lines check \(both\) of such conditions above

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, the right option, is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be B

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

option B is wrong since it includes the points of the same lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont uderstand this

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the points which belong to the lines are excluded by the green region

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that I wrote: \[y < ...\] and \(not\) \[y \leqslant ...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thank you so much!
