Graph the inequality y < 2|x – 1| – 2. Which point is part of the solution?

Ineedhelponmymath:

(–1, –1) (1, 1) (2, 3) (1, 2)

SmokeyBrown:

Here is a graph of the inequality in question. You can see that the shaded part in red represents the "solution" of the inequality. Which of these points would be included in the "solution"?

Ive got the same graph, but none of the points line up

Ineedhelponmymath:

My guess is A

Ineedhelponmymath:

Wait, so the only points that are in red is A

Ineedhelponmymath:

I get it now

SmokeyBrown:

You would be right with that guess! If you look at the point (-1,1) on the graph, you'll notice that it falls within the red shaded region, which represents the solution of the inequality. All of the other options fall within the white, unshaded region, so (-1,1) is the only option available which works. Well done!

Ineedhelponmymath:

Thank You for the help!

SmokeyBrown:

^As you explained yourself, in fact

SmokeyBrown:

No problem :)
