Math Problem Statement
Which graph represents the solution set of this inequality?
[\qquad-11-2d \geq 1]
Choose 1 answer:
Choose 1 answer:
(Choice A)
A
(Choice B)
B
(Choice C)
C
(Choice D)
D
Solution
Let's solve the inequality first:
Step 1: Add 11 to both sides
Step 2: Divide both sides by -2
When dividing by a negative number, remember to reverse the inequality sign:
So, the solution to the inequality is .
Interpreting the Graphs
On a number line, this solution is represented by an arrow starting at with a filled circle (since the inequality is ) pointing to the left.
Without specific descriptions of the answer choices (A, B, C, D) like before, I can't point to the exact answer graphically. However, you should look for the graph that has a filled circle at and an arrow pointing to the left.
Would you like further details or have any questions?
Here are some related questions:
- How would the graph change if the inequality was ?
- What if the inequality was ? How would the graph look?
- How do you represent the inequality on a number line?
- Can you explain why the inequality sign flips when dividing by a negative number?
- What happens to the solution if the original inequality was instead?
Tip: Always keep in mind to reverse the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying both sides by a negative number!
