First you have to get the equation into slope/intercept format: y = mx + b
So the slope m = 2, and the y-intercept b = -1.
b tells you where the line intersects the y axis. The slope is rise (vertical distance) over run (horizontal distance). I have attached my best attempt at drawing this without graph paper. The dotted line represents the inequality, and the solution set includes the values above the line which is why it is shaded. Hope this helps!

Answer: 36 square units</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Draw a horizontal line to cut the figure into a rectangle on top and a triangle down below.
The rectangle has length and width of 6 and 4 (horizontal and vertical components respectively). The area of this rectangle is 6*4 = 24 square units.
The triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 4. The base and height of any triangle are always perpendicular.
The area of the triangle is base*height/2 = 6*4/2 = 24/2 = 12 square units. If you were to cut out half of the triangle and rearrange things, you'll find that a rectangle can be formed. This rectangle is half in area that of the first rectangle we found. This is why we divide by 2 when finding the area of the triangle.
Once you know the two sub-areas, we add them up to get the overall area: 24+12 = 36 square units.
Answer:
The price was decreased by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original price and subtract the new price
20-12 = 8
Divide by the original price
8/20 = .4
Change to a percent
40 %
The price was decreased by 40%
