Question

Find a linear inequality with the following solution set. Each grid line represents one unit.

Answer 1

The linear inequality that represents the solution set is (- 1 / 3) · x - y ≥ 8 / 3.

How to derive the inequality that represents the image

Herein we have an representation of a inequality of the form y ≤ f(x), where f(x) is a linear function, that is, a first grade polynomial. By geometry we know that a equation of the line can be known from two distinct points set on Cartesian plane:

Slope

m = [- 4 - (- 2)] / [4 - (- 2)]

m = (- 2) / 6

m = - 1 / 3

Intercept (m = - 1 / 3, (x, y) = (4, - 4)

b = y - m · x

b = - 4 - (- 1 / 3) · 4

b = - 4 + 4 / 3

b = - 8 / 3

Then, we find that the inequality is:

y ≤ (- 1 / 3) · x - 8 / 3

8 / 3 ≤ (- 1 / 3) · x - y

(- 1 / 3) · x - y ≥ 8 / 3

The linear inequality that represents the solution set is (- 1 / 3) · x - y ≥ 8 / 3.
