Question 7 • Algebra: Concepts and Connections

Which inequality has a solid boundary line when graphed?

Answer
A
y is less than 1 ninth x plus 9
B
y is less than negative x minus 9
C
y is greater than or equal to 9 x plus 9
D
y is greater than negative 1 ninth x

Explanation

A solid boundary line is used when the inequality includes equality, shown by “greater than or equal to” (≥) or “less than or equal to” (≤). Choice D, y is greater than or equal to 9x + 9, includes equality, so its boundary line is solid. The other choices use strict inequalities and have dashed boundary lines.
