coordinate grid, which of the following statements are true? Check all that

B. Shading will be below the y = 6x + 6 line but above the y=-4x+6
line.
C. Shading will be below the y = 6x + 6 line and below the y = -4x+6
line.
D. None of the above

Final answer:

The correct statements about graphing the inequalities y ≤ -4x+6 and y < 6x + 6 are that the line y = -4x+6 will be solid (A) and shading will be below both the y = -4x+6 and y < 6x + 6 lines(C).

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphing the inequalities y ≤ -4x+6 and y < 6x + 6 on a coordinate grid, the following statements can be evaluated:

  • A. True, the line for y = -4x + 6 will be solid because it includes the values where y is exactly -4x + 6 due to the ≤ (less than or equal to) sign.
  • B. False, shading will not be between the lines because the inequalities y ≤ -4x + 6 and y < 6x + 6 do not overlap in that manner. Shading for y ≤ -4x + 6 will be below this line and shading for y < 6x + 6 will be below that line as well.
  • C. True, shading will be below both lines due to the direction indicated by the inequalities. Where the shaded regions overlap is the solution set to the system of inequalities.
  • D. False, as both statements A and C are true.
