Answer:  x < 1/2 or x < 0.5

The graph is below

=========================================================

There are two ways to solve this

Method 1

5 - 2x > 4

-2x > 4-5

-2x > -1

x < -1/(-2) .... note the inequality sign flips

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

The inequality sign flips whenever we divide both sides by a negative number.

----------------------

Method 2

5 - 2x > 4

5 - 2x+2x > 4+2x

5 > 4+2x

4+2x < 5

2x < 5-4

2x < 1

x < 1/2

x < 0.5

----------------------

To graph this on a number line, we'll plot an open hole at 1/2 or 0.5 on the number line. Then we shade to the left to represent all values smaller than 1/2 = 0.5

The open hole signals that 0.5 itself is NOT part of the solution set.

See the diagram below.

Plssss i need help rn ​
wariber [46]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-1 , -2)   &    (x₂ , y₂) = (3 , 10)

Slope =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         = \frac{10-[-2]}{3-[-1]}\\\\=\frac{10+2}{3+1}\\\\=\frac{12}{4}\\\\=4

m  = 4

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - [-2] = 4(x - [-1])

y + 2 = 4(x + 1)

y + 2 = 4x + 4

    y = 4x + 4 - 2

    y = 4x + 2
