Question

Which description matches the graph of the inequality y > |x + 4| – 1? a shaded region above a solid boundary line a shaded region above a dashed boundary line a shaded region below a dashed boundary line a shaded region below a solid boundary line

Answer 1

Shaded region above a dashed boundary line

Explanation:

> This is a greater than symbol. It has no "or equal to" underline under it, so it needs a dashed line for its graph. Because it is a greater than (as opposed to a less than< ) the shaded area will be above the dashed line.

< dashed, below

> dashed, above

<= solid, below

>= solid, above
