Answer:
B: 4/5x -2y ≥ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing I always look for is the y-intercept which in this case is around -1.5 (-). That will be your constant (b) in y = mx + b. Then calculate the slope which will be your m in the equation. Visually, I would estimate it is around
. So now, your equation is y =
x -1
. Next we want to figure out what the inequality will be. The shaded part is underneath the line, which means that y must be less than where the line is. Therefore the inequality will be y ≤
x -1
.
Now in this question, the answers available are not in this form. The next step would be to multiply every part of the inequality by 2 (it is essential that all parts are multiplied) so that you get 2y ≤ x -3. The last step is to rearrange the inequality so that it matches the answers on the question.
3 ≤ x - 2y
x - 2y ≥ 3
