Explain what the inequality means in relation to the positions of these numbers on the number line.

Two different linear functions are shown below with two points given from each function. use slope-intercept form or point-slope form to find the equation of each. linear function a points: (–5, –2), (–5, 7) linear function b points: (7, –5), (–2, –5) function a has: the equation of line a is: function b has: the equation of line b is:

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. he needs to schedule employee to staff the deli department for no more that 260 person-hours per week. tom has one part-time employee who works 20 person-hours per week. each full-time employee works 40 person-hours per week. write and inequality to determine n, the number of full-time employees tom may schedule, so that his employees work on more than 260 person-hours per week. graph the solution set to this inequality.

Liz is shipping a package to her friend. the maximum weight of a medium flat-rate box is 20 pounds, including the box which weighs 6 ounces. write and solve an inequality to describe the possible weight in pounds, w, of the contents that liz will ship to her friend if she must use a medium flat-rate box. use the drop-down menus to explain your answer.
