Math Problem Statement

Monica graphed the boundary lines for a system of linear inequalities.

If Monica shaded the area with point B , what will be the system of linear inequalities?

Move the correct answer to each box. Not all answers will be used.

y x − 8

y x + 2

Solution

To determine the system of linear inequalities based on Monica's shaded area that includes point B, we need to interpret the inequalities based on the position of point B relative to the boundary lines on the graph.

For a precise solution, I would need a few details:

  • The slopes and y-intercepts of the boundary lines,
  • The location of point B relative to these lines,
  • If possible, an image of the graph.

The options you provided:

  1. y<x8y < x - 8
  2. yx8y \leq x - 8
  3. y>x8y > x - 8
  4. yx8y \geq x - 8
  5. y<x+2y < x + 2
  6. yx+2y \leq x + 2
  7. y>x+2y > x + 2
  8. yx+2y \geq x + 2

Each option suggests a comparison to a line with the form y=x8y = x - 8 or y=x+2y = x + 2. We would select inequalities based on the side of the line where point B is located and whether the boundary line is included or not (indicated by \leq or \geq).

If you can provide any additional details or upload the graph, I can help you select the correct inequalities.

Would you like more information on solving inequalities? Here are some follow-up questions:

  1. What does it mean when we shade below or above a line in an inequality?
  2. How can we test a point to see if it satisfies an inequality?
  3. How does changing the inequality symbol (e.g., << to \leq) affect the shaded region?
  4. What role does the slope play in determining the direction of the inequality?
  5. How can we confirm the correct inequalities for a system graphically?

Tip: To determine if a point is part of a solution to an inequality, substitute its coordinates into the inequality. If the statement is true, the point satisfies the inequality.
