Intersection of lines

CONCEPTS

There are 2 ways to determine how figures intersect

1) set y's equal to one another for the 2 equations to determine the x-point of intersection. Put that x-value back into either equation to determine the y-coordinate of intersection.

2) plot out figures


Inequalities – types of lines

• When there is a > or <, use a dottet line

• When there is a ≥ or ≤, use a solid line


Inequalities – shading

• ≤ or < shade below the line

• ≥ or > shade above the line

PRACTICE PROBLEMS

Question 1 What's the solutions set for the inequalities?






















-- Answer --

X = 3x = -3y = 2y = -2

Only choice G includes point (0, 0), which satisfies the system of inequalities.
