Answer:
y = --0.25x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation of a line, you must first find the slope of the line.
The equation to find slope is .
Plug in the given points:
(x2, y2) = (-8,3)
(x1, y1) = (-4,2)
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (3-1)/ (-8 - -4) = (3-2) / (-8 + 4) = 1/-4 = -0.25
Next, you solve for the y-intercept using one of the two coordinates:
y = -0.25x + b
2 = -0.25(-4) + b
2 = 1 + b
b = 2 - 1 = 1
y = -0.25x + 1
we have the inequality
step 1
Find out the first solution (positive case)
The first solution is all real numbers less than or equal to 1.20
Interval (-infinite,1.20]
step 2
Find out the second solution (negative case)
Multiply by -1 both sides
The second solution is all real numbers greater than or equal to -2.8
the interval [-2.8, infinite)
step 3
Find out the solution to the given inequality
The solution is
[-2.8, infinite) ∩ (-infinite,1.20]=[-2.8,1.20]
the solution is the interval [-2.8,1.20]
