<h2>Point ( 3,2 ) is one of the solution.</h2>
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.
Let the linear equation : y = mx + c
If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :
<em>m → gradient of the line</em>
<em>( 0 , c ) → y - intercept</em>
Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :
If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :
Let us tackle the problem.
This probem is about Linear Inequality.
<u>Given:</u>
<h2>y ≤ 2x − 4</h2>
To determine which point is a solution , we could plot the points on the graph. The point that is in the shaded region will be the solution.
Let: point A (-1,1) , B (1,-1) , C (3,2) , D (2,3).
As shown in the graph in the attachment, from the four known points, only point C(3,2) is inside the shaded area.
∴ Point C is one of the solution of y ≤ 2x − 4
