Answer:

y = -1/3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line with points (-6, -3) and (6, -7)

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

We can see on the graph that y-intercept is b = -5

The slope is found using slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-7 - (-3))/(6 -(-6)) = -4/12 = -1/3

Th equation is:

y = -1/3x - 5

Which graph correctly represents (5/2)x - y < 3?

Setler79 [48]

You can rewrite the inequality as

$y > \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3$

Note that

$y = f(x) = \cfrac{5}{2}\ x - 3$

is the equation of the line drawn in the pictures. This means that, for every point on the line, the y coordinate is exactly image of the x coordinate, i.e. $f(x)$

The inequality is satisfied by all points whose y coordinate exceeds the image of the x coordinate. Since the y axis is positively oriented upwards, a greater value for the y coordinate means that the point has to be higher than the line.

Also, since the equality inlves a $>$ and not a $\geq$ sign, the line itself is excluded.
