Question

An inequality is graphed with a dashed line that has a slope of -1/2 and is shaded above the line. The line includes the point (-2,3). Write the inequality of the graph in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Y=-1/2+2

Explanation:

1. y=mx+b

2. Substitute the points in (3=-1/2 x -2 + b)

3. you get 3= 1 +b

4. Subtract 1 from the side it's on, and then subtract it from 3.

5. You get 2=b

6. Write it out: y= -1/2 + 2

Answer 2

y<-1/2x+2

2 is the y intercept and

-1/2 is the slope
