Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First create an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. To do this, find the rate of change or slope (m), and the y-intercept (b).
Using two pairs, (-7, -3) and (-8, -4),
m = 1
To find b, substitute m = 1, x = -7 and y = -3 into y = mx + b.
Thus:
-3 = (1)(-7) + b
-3 = -7 + b
-3 + 7 = b
4 = b
b = 4.
Replace y with f(x), m with 1 and b with 4 in y = mx + b.
The function would be:
To isolate m, we'll multiply both sides by 8.
We go from m/8 < 4 to m < 32
This describes any number smaller than 32. We aren't including 32 itself, so we have an <u>open circle</u> at 32 on the number line. The <u>shading is to the left</u> since everything to the left of 32 is smaller than 32.
