Question

How do you decide where to shade an inequality whose boundary dose not go through the origin?

A. For <, shade above the boundary
B. If (0,0) is a solution, shade where (0,0) is
C. For >,shade below the boundary
D.If (0,0) is a solution, shade the boundary.

Answer 1

It would be d because that’s the answer I have the teachers book

Answer 2

I’m pretty sure that it is D because it says boundary and not just where it is at.

Explanation:

If you have an equation for your graph you would substitute the y AND x with 0, you the solve the solution and if the solution is true then the space where (0,0) is located becomes the shaded area because that resembles the area in which everything is a positive solution with the equation. If it is false then the opposite area is then shaded because (0,0) doesn’t work with the problem.

I hope you get it right! Have a good week :D
