options: Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
problem_activity: Given below are the graphs of two lines,
$${y = 0.5x + 5}$$
and
$${y = -1.25x + 8}$$
, and several regions and points are shown. Note that C is the region that appears completely white in the graph.
[IMG]
For each region and point, write a system of equations or inequalities that has the region or point as its solution set.
Verify that a point that lies in region A satisfies the system of inequalities that you wrote for region A.
Without choosing any specific numbers, explain how you know that all the points in quadrant 3 must satisfy the inequalities for region A.
