Question

Which system of linear inequalities is graphed?

Answer 1

The first one.

Explanation:

Graph lines as if the inequalities were equal signs.

X = -3 is a vertical line at x = -3, because it's less than we shade to the left. All numbers less than -3 are to the left. The line is dashed because there is no equal to. Only less than. The line is not included in the solution set.

y = -x - 1 is a line with a y-intercept of -1 and a slope of -1. All values that are less that y are below the line. Because it's less than or equal to the line is solid.

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

The vertical line is dotted at -3 and shaded to the left

x < -3

This gives us two choices left

A and C

The other line has a y intercept at -1 and is solid and shaded to the left

It is of the form

y ≤ mx+1

We know the slope is negative since is goes down from left to right

The only Choice is A
