Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the correct system of inequalities represented by the graph, let's analyze the format and reasoning for each choice in the options provided. We need to interpret each inequality’s slope, y-intercept, and orientation (greater than, less than, or equal) as well as their intersections to determine which could match a given graph:
-
Understanding each inequality's meaning:
- Inequalities like or have a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -2.
- Inequalities with or similar have a slope of and a y-intercept of 6.
- Inequalities with or have a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 0.
-
Checking each answer choice:
- Option A: Contains inequalities:
- (region above the line )
- (region below the line )
- (region below the line )
- Option B: Similar structure but with , , and .
- Option C and D: Follow similar patterns but with different inequalities and combinations.
- Option A: Contains inequalities:
-
Selecting the answer:
- If the graph shows a shaded region, match the areas that satisfy all inequalities simultaneously. You would look for overlapping shaded regions from each line in the system.
Would you like me to continue with a detailed evaluation of each option’s suitability based on the graph's characteristics?
