You can put this solution on YOUR website!
here's a picture of your graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the slope intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the standard form of a linear equation is ax + by = c\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a is the coefficient of the x term.
\n" ); document.write( "b is the coefficient of the y term.
\n" ); document.write( "c is the constant term.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first we'll work with the slope intercept form of the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then we'll convert that form to the standard form.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the slope intercept form of the equation is y = mx + b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we'll have 2 equations.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "one of them crosses the y-axis at y = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "the other crosses the y-axis at y = -4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your two equation will be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = mx - 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we replaced b with the y-intercepts that we saw on the graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now we look at the slope.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the line that crosses the y-axis at 3 is sloping downward from left to right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this tells us the slope will be negative.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it starts at the point (0,3) which is the y-intercept.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we look for the next intersection that is an integer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "there are 3 that we can see.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "they are at (1,2), (2,1), and (3,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i chose the point (3,0) to calculate the slope.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the two points i chose are (0,3) and (3,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let (x1,y1) = (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( "let (x2,y2) = (3,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0-3)/(3-0) = -3/3 = -1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "replace m with -1 in the equation that has 3 as the y-intercept and you get y = -x + 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a similar analysis in the line that intersects the y-axis at -4 uses the points (0,-4) and (3,-1) going from left to right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let (x1,y1) = (0,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "let (x2,y2) = (3,-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-4-(-1))/(3-0) = (-4+1)/3 = 3/3 = 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "replace m with 1 in the equation of the line with the y-intercept of -4 to get y = x - 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your equations are y = -x + 3 and y = x - 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph has a shaded region and the lines are dashed.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this indicates an inequality of > or <, but not >= or <=.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if it was >= or <=, the lines would be solid.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since they are dashed, the inequality is < or >.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the shaded region is under the line of y = -x + 3, therefore the equation is y < -x + 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the shaded region is above the line y = x - 4, therefore the equation is y > x - 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to convert these equations to standard form, do the following:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "start with y < -x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "add x to both sides of the equation to get x + y < 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "start with y > x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "subtract x from both sides of the equation to get -x + y > -4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your equations are x + y < 3 and -x + y > -4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that would be selection D.\r
