Question

Write the inequality in slope-intercept form. 5x - 2y < -8 show work.

Answer 1

`\bf 5x-2y<-8\implies -2y<-5x-8\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplication by a negative}}{y~~\stackrel{\downarrow }{>}~~\cfrac{-5x-8}{-2}} \\\\\\ y>\cfrac{5x+8}{2}\implies y>\cfrac{5}{2}x+4\impliedby \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}`
