Question

Determine if (0,3)

is a solution to y>2
. If so, graph the inequality.


An image of a coordinate plane shows a dashed line with a positive slope. The line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2) and passes through the point (negative 2, negative 2). The area above and to the left of the line is shaded.


An image of a coordinate plane shows a dashed vertical line. The line crosses the x-axis at (2, 0) and passes through the points (2, negative 2) and (2, 2). The area to the right of the line is shaded.


is not a solution.


An image of a coordinate plane shows a dashed horizontal line. The line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2) and passes through the points (2, 2) and (negative 2, 2). The area above the line is shaded.

Answer 1

To determine if (0,3) is a solution to y>2, we need to check if y is greater than 2 when x=0 and y=3. Since 3 is greater than 2, the point (0,3) satisfies the inequality y>2.

To graph the inequality y>2, we need to shade the region above the horizontal line y=2. The line y=2 is a solid line since it includes the points where y=2, but the region above the line is shaded with a dashed line since it does not include the points where y=2.

Here is a description of the graph:

Draw a horizontal line passing through the point (0,2).

Shade the region above the line with a dashed line.

The graph visually represents all the points that satisfy the inequality y>2. Since the point (0,3) is above the line, it is part of the shaded region and satisfies the inequality.
