Set 5: Linear Inequalities

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. Band between parallel lines. 1. Above $y=x$: $y > x$ (or $x < y$) 2. Below $y=x+2$: $y < x + 2$ 3. Combine: $x < y < x + 2$ Strategic Tip: Verify that $x < x+2$ is true (it is), so the inequality makes sense. Choice B is incorrect because $x > x+2$ is impossible. Choice C is incorrect because it is outside the band. Choice D is incorrect because it is above both lines.
