Question

The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city.

graph of coordinate plane. Point A is at negative 5, 5. Point B is at negative 4, negative 2. Point C is at 2, 1. Point D is at negative 2, 4. Point E is at 2, 4. Point F is at 3, negative 4.

Part A: Using the graph above, create a system of inequalities that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions. Explain how the lines will be graphed and shaded on the coordinate grid above. (5 points)

Part B: Explain how to verify that the points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities created in Part A. (3 points)

Part C: Timothy can only attend a school in his designated zone. Timothy's zone is defined by y < 3x − 3. Explain how you can identify the schools that Timothy is allowed to attend. (2 points)

Answer 1

Part A:
a system of inequalities that only contain points D and E in the overlapping shaded regions is
5y + 2x > 12
2y - x < 12

Part B:
To verify that points D and E are solutions to the system of inequalities, we plug in the coordinate points of points D and E into the system of ineaqualities.

Part C:
To identify the schools that Timothy is allowed to attend we plug in the coordinate values of the points to see which satisfies the inequality y < 3x - 3. Thus Timothy is allowed to attend schools C and F.
