Question

Which number completes the system of linear inequalities represented by the graph?

y > 2x – 2 and x + 4y > ?

a. -12
b. -3
c. 4
d. 6

Answer 1

@jadadunn for the first equation, look for the graph that matches the equation y = 2x - 2, with a dotted line and the shaded area above the line

Answer 3

That is the graph that goes with the equation but I need to know what the " ? " is

Answer 4

ok, we can see that the red equation represents y > 2x – 2 so we will match the second equation to the blue graph

Answer 5

hint: what is the y-intercept of the blue graph?

Answer 6

So -3 right ?

Answer 7

good but we're not done yet

Answer 8

the equation for the blue line can be written as

y > - (1/4)x - 3

now we need to match it up to the original equation

Answer 9

now we multiply both sides by 4

Answer 10

4y > -x - 12

4y + x > - 12

making the final answer -12

Answer 11

thank you
