The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:
i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0
Consider the decreasing case.
The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.
Back to our problem:
The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,
so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"
it is
"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"
the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).
then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.
when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.
