Answer:
y = - x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = = -
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 4) ⇒ c = 4
y = - x + 4 ← equation of line
Given:
A number line going from negative 2.5 to positive 2.5 in increments of 0.5.
To find:
The inequality which is true.
Solution:
Consider the number line as shown in the below figure.
We know that, on a line as we go to the left direction, the number become smaller and as we go right, the numbers become larger.
From the number line it is clear that -1.5 is on the left side of 0.5. So,
Hence, option A is incorrect.
-0.5 is on the left side of 0. So,
Hence, option B is incorrect.
-1.5 is on the left side of -0.5. So,
Hence, option C is correct.
One half is equal to 0.5.
Hence, option D is incorrect.
