Answer: y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph, we can see that we are above a bold line, that goes through the points (0, -3) and (5, 0)
First, let's find the equation for this line:
y = a*x + b
the value of a is the slope and is equal to:
a = (0 - (-3))/(5 -0) = 3/5
and the value of b is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, in this case, b = -3
then our line is
y = (3/5)*x - 3
As the shaded part is above the line, this equality represents the minimum value that y can take for a given x, and because the line is not a doted line, we know that the equality is valid, so we must use the ≥ symbol.
y ≥ (3/5)*x - 3
