Can someone please help
1 answer:
For slope, people sometimes use the description 'rise divided by run'. We know that the y axis describes rise, and the x axis describes run. So rise divided by run written numerically is . Now let's look at the line above. We can see that every time the y value goes up one unit, the x value goes right two units. This means that [tex]\frac{y}{x} --> \frac{y + 1}{x + 2}
This can be rewritten as 1/2, so the is 1/2. Hope this helped.

The inequality described can be written as:
y < 3x + 2.
<h3>How to get the inequality?</h3>First, we know that we have a dashed line, and the region to the left of that line is shaded, then we will have:
y < line.
The linear equation is of the form:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Remember that if a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:
Here we know that the line passes through (-3, -7) and (0, 2), so the slope is:
And because the line passes through (0, 2), the y-intercept is 2, then the inequality is:
y < 3x + 2.
