Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have the points
(-3,1) and (0,3)
step 1
Find the slope m of the line
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

substitute the values


step 2
Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

we have

----> the y-intercept is the point (0,3)
substitute the values

step 3
Find the equation of the inequality
we know that
The slope is positive
Everything to the left of the line is shaded ( The inequality is of the form y > ax+b or y ≥ ax+b)
Is a dashed line (The inequality is of the form y > ax+ b or y < ax+b)
therefore
The equation of the inequality is of the form y > ax+b
The inequality is

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate be = x
Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y
Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.
Equation becomes =
...(1)
As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.
.... (2)
Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)

=
=
=
x=4.5

=
y =3
Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50
Each cup of tea is $3.
