will fan + medal!! Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? graph of an inequality with a dashed vertical line through the point (−3, 0) with shading to the left of the line x > −3 x < −3 y > −3 y < −3

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Is there any restriction on what value y can take on?

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

i dont think so, thats the whole question above.

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Right, in the figure, we can choose any y value we want. So we can cross of answers C and D

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Now what does the shaded region represent?

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

im not sure what it represents, but would it be A since its in the negatives ? im really bad at this subject im sorry

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

That is OK! We will figure this out! X is allowed to take on any values to the left of negative 3 (in the shaded region) right?

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

correct

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

If we put that into words, then we say "x must be less than -3"

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

And if we put that into an inequality like the answers, then x < −3

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

ok, so ther it would be B? x-<3

OpenStudy (baldymcgee6):

Correct!

OpenStudy (leahmarieed):

okay awesome thanks so much
