Which best represents the correct way to solve the inequality shown below?
-8.2 > 4x

Answers

A. Yes

B. Yes

C. No

D. No

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

x = number of minutes

y = amount of rope uncoiled

At first we have 50 feet of uncoiled rope. So basically at time x = 0 we have y = 50 feet of uncoiled rope. The point (0,50) is on the line. After 5 minutes, 5*10 = 50 feet of rope is coiled up, as its coiled at 10 ft/min. After these 5 minutes, we have 0 feet of uncoiled rope. The point (5,0) is on the line.

The line goes through (0,50) and (5,0)

Now go through the window options and see which provide the right window to be able to see the line segment with the endpoints mentioned.

Choice A = yes, because y = 50 is part of the interval Choice B = yes, similar reasons as choice AChoice C = no, due to the fact that y = 50 is too large and outside the interval Choice D = no, same reasoning as choice C
