Inequalities
When you plot this inequality onto a graph:

Shouldn't it be for every 1 across you go 4 up?

Question 7 a) they plotted y = 4x differently?Last edited by Kravez; 17-05-2012 at 16:35. -
Re: InequalitiesLook closely at (0,0). For every 1 across they are going 2 up.(Original post by Implication)
They didn't
It looks fine to me. At x=10, y=40; at x=20, y=80 etc. etc. What do you think is wrong with it?

Re: Inequalitiesevery 40 up, 10 across.(Original post by Kravez)
Look closely at (0,0). For every 1 across they are going 2 up.
therefore it must be right. -
Re: InequalitiesLook at the scale.(Original post by Kravez)
Look closely at (0,0). For every 1 across they are going 2 up. -
Re: InequalitiesThe axes aren't scaled equally. Look again: one square on the x-axis is 1; 1 square on the y-axis is 2. Thus, going 1 SQUARE across for every 2 SQUARES up is the same as going 1 unit across for every 4 units up.(Original post by Kravez)

Thanks.
