Math Problem Statement
Linear Inequality Graph 2-Variables
Question 1 Which inequality is shown on the graph? Responses A y < 4x + 5y < 4x + 5 B y < −4xy < −4x C y < −4x + 5y < −4x + 5 D y < −x + 5y < − 1 4 x + 5
Question 2 Which ordered pair is NOT a solution to the inequality? Responses A (1, 1)(1, 1) B (0, 2)(0, 2) C (1, −2)(1, −2) D (−2, −2)(−2, −2)
Solution
Question 1: Which inequality is shown on the graph?
To determine the inequality, we need to consider two aspects:
-
Slope of the line: The slope () can be identified based on how steep the line is. The given options have slopes like , , and , so the graph must show whether it's steep or relatively flat.
-
Y-intercept: This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It's given in the options as in some of the choices.
The line must also show whether the inequality uses a strict inequality ("<" or ">") or includes the boundary ("≤" or "≥"). If the line is dashed, it represents strict inequalities ("<" or ">"). If the line is solid, it represents inclusive inequalities ("≤" or "≥").
Assuming you are asking about a specific inequality related to this graph:
-
If the line has a negative slope and crosses the y-axis at +5, then the inequality might look like or .
-
If the shading is below the line, the inequality would use "<" (less than). If the shading is above the line, the inequality would use ">".
Given the choices, Option C seems likely if the line has a negative slope and crosses the y-axis at 5, with shading below the line.
Question 2: Which ordered pair is NOT a solution to the inequality?
For this, plug in the given ordered pairs into the inequality from Question 1, assuming the inequality is .
Checking the pairs:
-
(1, 1): Plug into : So, (1, 1) is NOT a solution.
-
(0, 2): Plug into : So, (0, 2) is a solution.
-
(1, -2): Plug into : So, (1, -2) is a solution.
-
(-2, -2): Plug into : So, (-2, -2) is a solution.
Thus, the ordered pair (1, 1) is NOT a solution, and the correct answer for Question 2 is A.
Relative Questions:
- How do you determine the slope of a line from a graph?
- How does shading on a graph help identify the inequality?
- What is the significance of the y-intercept in linear equations?
- Why are dashed lines used for strict inequalities?
- How can we verify if an ordered pair is a solution to a given inequality?
Tip:
Always check the direction of shading on the graph to identify whether the inequality uses "<" (shading below the line) or ">" (shading above the line).
