First lets write out the equation:
-8x + 2x - 16 < -5x + 7x
Lets collect the x values
-6x - 16 < 2x
-8x - 16 < 0 (subtract both sides by 2x to get all the x's on one side)
-8x < 16 ( add both sides by 16 to get all the x's alone)
x < -2 ( divide both sides by -8 to get what just x is)
So x < -2
The area of a triangle is A ( area) = B (base) × H (height) ÷ 2
B is the answer.
The slope i got for the table is -1 because i divided -2 by 2.
The slope i got for the graph was 0 because 0/7 is 0.
-1 < 0
