Which graph is the solution to the inequality –3x − 6 > 9?

Answer:
See attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve this like a normal equation:
-3x - 6 > 9
Add 6 to both sides:
-3x > 9 + 6
-3x > 15
Divide by -3 and remember to switch the inequality sign:
x < 15/(-3)
x < -5
Think about the graph of x = -5. It's a vertical line crossing the y-axis at x = -5. Now, we have x is less than -5. That means all the values less than -5 should be viable solutions. So, shade the part of the graph to the left of the vertical line.
Also, since we have x < -5 and not x ≤ -5, the line should be dotted.

Answer:
y= 2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the given equation into the form of y=mx+c, so that we can find the gradient of the line. In this form, m (coefficient of x) is the gradient.
4x -2y= 3
2y= 4x -3
<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>
Thus the gradient is 2.
Parallel lines have the same gradient thus the line would also have a gradient of 2.
Substitute m=2 into the equation:
y= 2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x=2, y=1,
1= 2(2) +c
1= 4 +c
c= 1 -4
c= -3
Thus, the equation of the line is y= 2x -3.
