Answer:
[tex]y < - \times + 2[/tex]
and
[tex]y \geqslant 2x + 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Dotted line means regular < and >
Solid line mean (< or equal to) and > (or equal to)
They're asking for an equation for both lines, which you can use the formula y = mx + b, but in this case you'll be using y < or y > since it's an inequality.
- The m in the equation represents the slope
- The b in the equation represents where the line intercepts on the y-axis
For the dotted line: Its dotted so you already know it's a regular sign (< and >). We have to find the slope of the dotted line, which is m. The formula for m = (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1), which means you choose two points that the dotted line intercepts with. (0, 2) and (2,0) are two points the line goes through. Now plug it into the slope formula. (0 - 2) ÷ (2 - 0) = -2/2 = -1
The line intercepts at 2 on the y-axis and the area below the dotted line is shaded. When it's shaded below, the sign is < therefore y < -1x + 2
For the solid line: Its solid so the sign in underlined indicating equal to or (</>). Do the exact same thing you did for the dotted line. Slope formula and where the line intercepts the y-axis. Let's do (-2,0) and (0,4), then (4 - 0) ÷ (0 - (-2)) = 4/2 = 2.
The line intercepts at 4 on the y-axis and the area above the solid line is shaded. When its shaded above, the sign is > therefore y > or equal to (underline it) 2x + 4
