Interpreting the inequality, it is found that the correct option is given by F.
------------------
- The first equation is of the line.
- The equal sign is present in the inequality, which means that the line is not dashed, which removes option G.
In standard form, the equation of the line is:
[tex]x + 2y = 6[/tex]
[tex]2y = 6 - x[/tex]
[tex]y = -0.5x + 2[/tex]
Thus it is a decreasing line, which removes options J.
- We are interested in the region on the plane below the line, that is, less than the line, which removes option H.
------------------
- As for the second equation, the normalized equation is:
[tex]3x^2 + 3y^2 = 12[/tex]
[tex]3(x^2 + y^2) = 12[/tex]
[tex]x^2 + y^2 = 4[/tex]
- Thus, a circle centered at the origin and with radius 2.
- Now, we have to check if the line [tex]x + 2y - 6 = 0[/tex], with coefficients [tex]a = 1, b = 2, c = -6[/tex], intersects the circle, of centre [tex]x = 0, y = 0[/tex]
- First, we find the following distance:
[tex]d = \sqrt{\frac{|ax + by + c|}{a^2 + b^2}}[/tex]
- Considering the coefficients of the line and the center of the circle.
[tex]d = \sqrt{\frac{|1(0) + 2(0) - 6|}{1^2 + 2^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} = 1.1[/tex]
- This distance is less than the radius, thus, the line intersects the circle, which removes option K, and states that the correct option is given by F.
