Question

Given an inequality, what strategies can we use to determine where the boundary line is? Explain your strategies in detail.

Answer 1

Answer:

The strategy is to find the x and y intercept of the given equation

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3y≥12

In order to determine where the boundary line, we need to first get the x and y-intercept of the inequality expression given;

x-intercept occurs at where y = 0

when y  = 0

4x + 3(0)≥12

4x ≥12

x ≥12/4

x≥ 3

Also y intercept occurs at where x = 0

4x+3y≥12

4(0)+ 3y ≥12

3y≥12

y≥12/3

y≥4

Hence the intercept of the line is at (3, 4). A thick line will pass through this point and the upper part of the graph will be shaded. The strategy is to find the x and y intercept of the given equation
