You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph both y = -2x+2 and y = -2x+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Shade above these (dashed) lines and use different colors (or different pencil strokes). You'll see that the two regions overlap above the line y = -2x+5. This is the final solution region.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This final solution region is really just the solution for y > −2x + 5 since y > −2x + 2 has no influence in the answer at all.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution to y > −2x + 2 and y > −2x + 5 together is just y > −2x + 5 because the solution region above y > −2x + 2 (but below y > −2x + 5) is not counted because it does not satisfy y > −2x + 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Once again, the answer is C) y > −2x + 5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
