Question

Which description of the graph of the linear inequality y > 3x – 8 is correct?

Answer 1

Options :

A.The graph will be a dashed line with a y-intercept of negative eight and a slope of three. The graph will be shaded below the line

B.The graph will be a solid line with a y-intercept of three and a slope of negative eight. The graph will be shaded above the line.

C. The graph will be a solid line with a y-intercept of three and a slope of negative eight. The graph will be shaded below the line.

D.The graph will be a dashed line with a y-intercept of negative eight and a slope of three. The graph will be shaded above the line

Answer:

D.The graph will be a dashed line with a y-intercept of negative eight and a slope of three. The graph will be shaded above the line

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y > 3x – 8

Interpreting as a linear relation :

y > ax + b

Where, a = slope ; b = intercept

a = 3 ; that is a slope value of 3

b = -8 ; that is an intercept value of - 8

Since the inequality is >, a dashed line is used (dashed like is used for > and <) ; since we a have a greater than sign, the graph will be shaded above the dashed line.
