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:
Each option suggests a comparison to a line with the form or . 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 or ).
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:
- What does it mean when we shade below or above a line in an inequality?
- How can we test a point to see if it satisfies an inequality?
- How does changing the inequality symbol (e.g., to ) affect the shaded region?
- What role does the slope play in determining the direction of the inequality?
- 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.
