An employee at a shoe store has observed that taller customers have larger shoe sizes than customers who are shorter. She knows that shoe sizes are based on foot length, so she hypothesizes: Compared with shorter people, taller people have longer feet.

Question attachment below

Answer and explanation:

Data patterns are repeated data occurrences in a certain way that is recognizable.

In the example below, the data pattern shows taller people require larger shoe sizes(the taller the person the larger the shoe size) but does make some exceptions. Example: while Denver is taller and requires a larger shoe size, Eduardo is shorter than Tim and still requires a larger shoe size than Tim.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
