  1. Question 1

    A solution of a linear inequality in x and y is:

    • Aan ordered pair that satisfies the inequality
    • Bany real number
    • Conly the origin
    • Da straight line
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    A solution is an ordered pair (x and y) that makes the inequality true.

  2. Question 2

    The line ax + by = c is called the ______ of the half planes.

    • Avertex
    • Bregion
    • Cboundary
    • Dconstraint
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    The line separating the two half planes is their boundary.

  3. Question 3

    The graph of ax + by = c divides the plane into:

    • Aone region
    • Bthree regions
    • Cfour quadrants
    • Dtwo disjoint regions
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The line divides the plane into two disjoint half planes.

  4. Question 4

    The linear equation obtained by replacing the inequality sign with an equals sign is called its:

    • Aobjective equation
    • Bassociated equation
    • Cquadratic equation
    • Dfeasible equation
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The corresponding equation is called the associated equation.

  5. Question 5

    The linear equation formed out of the linear inequality is called:

    • Alinear equation
    • Bassociated equation
    • Cquadratic equation
    • Dnone of these
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The textbook calls it the associated or corresponding equation.
