Use the inequalities to answer the following question

Mathematics

Answer:

C, E, and F

Explanation:

There are two ways to answer this question. First, you could simply input each answer into both equations to see which one works but that would take quite a long time.

A better way is to simply solve each equation for x.

You could rewrite

2x + 7 < -3

as

2x + 7 = -3

and solve:

Subtract 7 from both sides

(2x + 7) -7 = (-3) - 7\\2x = -10

Now divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}  = \frac{-10}{2}\\x = -5

Now we can simply replace the equals sign with the inequality

x < -5

Where you can run into trouble is if you have to multiply or divide by a negative number across the equation, you must flip the inequality sign. It's best to leave it there to remind you, but I switched it out just to show that it's no different than a typical algebraic equation.

Now, we know that x can be any value less than -5. Let's find out the same thing for the second equation:

x - 8 + 3x < -4\\(x + 3x) -8 < -4\\4x - 8 < -4\\(4x - 8) + 8 < (-4) + 8\\4x < 4\\\frac{4x}{4} < \frac{4}{4}\\x < 1

Now we know that x must be less than 1 for the second equation. So, now we can choose the answers that are both less than -5 and less than 1.

These answers are:

C. -10

E. -8.24

and

F. -15/2 which is -7.5

NOTE: -5 is equal to but not less than -5 so G is not included.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line
NeTakaya

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

y - 4 = (x - 6)

y - 4 = x - 6

y = x - 6 + 4

y = x - 2 (y = mx + C)

Slope m = 1

It is said that the line is perpendicular to a point ( -2, -2)

If two lines are perpendicular, their slope will be negative reciprocal

The negative reciprocal of slope = 1 is -1

Using a slope intercept form as requested by the question

y = mx + C

Inserting the values given

(-2, -2)

We are using point slope form

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

x_1 = -2

y_1 = -2

m = -1

Insert the values

y - ( -2)) = -1( x - (-2))

y + 2 = -1 ( x + 2)---- point slope form

But we are requested to give the answer in slope intercept form

y = mx + C

We have to open the bracket

y + 2 = -1(x + 2)

y + 2 = -x - 2

y = -x - 2 - 2

y = -x - 4 ( slope - intercept form)
