Question

Enter an inequality that represents the graph in the box.

Answer 1

Since y=-1 when x=0 and we can write the equation (we'll turn it into an inequality later) as y=mx-1 from y=mx+b by plugging (0,1) in. Next, y equals 2 when x=1, so we plug those in to get 2=m*1-1. Adding 1 to both sides, we get 3=m, making our equation y=3x-1 (since y and x stay variables). Lastly, we turn it into an inequality, It seems to be inclusive to the line, so it's either 
3x-1≤y or 3x-1≥y. Finding a random point in the inequality (4, 1), we plug it in to get 12-1=11, which is clearly larger than 1, so we get 3x-1≥y.

Answer 2

The correct answer is

y <= 3x -1
