Question

On a coordinate plane, 2 straight lines are shown. The first solid line has a negative slope and goes through (negative 2, 3) and (0, negative 1). Everything to the left of the line is shaded. The second dashed line has a negative slope and goes through (0, 2) and (1, 0). Everything to the right of the line is shaded.
Which inequality pairs with y≤−2x−1 to complete the system of linear inequalities represented by the graph?

y<−2x+2
y>−2x+2
y<2x−2
y>2x−2

Answer 1

Answer:

y > -2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashed line tells us the answer doesNOT have the "or=to" under the inequality symbol. Then the y-intercept is positive 2. So it must be

y > -2x + 2

see image

Look at the y-intercept and think of up/down instead of left/right on the shading and then you can see whether its < or >
