A hockey team determines that it needs at least 60 points for the season in order to make the playoffs. A win w is worth 2 points and a tie t is worth 1 point. Find and graph an inequality that describes the situation.
--------------
Let the number of wins be "w"; Let the number of ties be "t"
-----------
Points Inequality: 2w + t >= 60
-------------------
Graphing the inequality:
1st: solve for t: t >= -2w+60
2nd: Graph the "equality": t = -2w+60
3rd: Shade the area above the x-axis, to the
right of the y-axis, below the equality line.
------------------
Any one of the points on the line and any one of
the shaded points contain coordinates (w,t) that
will satisfy the inequality.
