Yes. Think of it like this. You borrowed $1 from your friend for a candy bar. You now have -$1 because you owe your friend money. If you ask your friend for another $5 because you found another thing you wanted you have -$6. When you already have a negative, you are subtracting even more from that, which brings you to an even higher negative number

Which graph represents the equation -5x+4y>-1?
galben [10]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

The inequality sign has an "or equal to", which means the boundary line will be solid. We can rule out choices B and C because they have dashed boundary lines.

A solid boundary line means that points on the boundary are part of the solution set.

Now let's see what happens when we plug in a point like (x,y) = (4,0). This will tell us how to shade the blue region.

-5x + 4y \ge -1 \\\\-5(4) + 4(0) \ge -1 \\\\-20 \ge -1 \\\\

This is false because -20 is not larger than -1. It's the other way around.

This tells us the point (4,0) is not in the blue shaded region, and it's not on the boundary line either. We can rule out choice A because of this.

The only thing left is choice D, which is the final answer. I recommend plugging a point from this region into the inequality to confirm we have a true statement.

The square of a negative number is twenty-eight more than three times the negative number. Find the number.
MAXImum [283]
The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4
