First find slope
(-2-6)/(9-5) = -8/4 = -2
Y = -2x + b
6 = -2(5) + b, b = 16
Solution: D

Which graph shows the solution of the inequality −|x − 2| + 9 > 6?

mariarad [96]

answer is -1 < x < 5

-|x - 2|+ 9 > 6

Rearrange the terms

-|x - 2| > 6 - 9

-|x - 2| > - 3

then divide both sides of the inequality by the co- efficient of variable

|x - 2| < 3

convert the absolute inequality to standard inequality

-3 <x - 2 < 3

separate compound inequalities into system of inequality

{x - 2}> -3

{x - 2 < 3}

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x > -3 + 2

calculate the sum or difference

x > -1

x -2 < 3

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x < 3 + 2

calculate the sum or difference

x < 5

x > -1 and x < 5

Find intersection

-1 < x < 5

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation, the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =. Where as in an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.
