Question

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a negative slope and goes through (0, 3) and (2, negative 1). Everything to the left of the line is shaded.
Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?

y > 2x + 3
y < 2x + 3
y > −2x + 3
y < −2x + 3

Answer 1

The linear inequality of the given graph is: D. y < -2x + 3.

How to Determine the Linear Inequality of a Graph?

First, using two points on the line, (0, 3) and (1.5, 0), find the slope (m).

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (3 - 0) / (0 - 1.5)

Slope (m) = 3/-1.5 = -2.

Next, substitute (x, y) = (0, 3) and m = -2 into y = mx + b to find the value of b.

3 = -2(0) + b

3 = 0 + b

b = 3

Substitute m = -2 and b = 3 into y < mx + b (the shaded part is at the left, so we use the "<" sign)

y < -2x + 3
