Answer 1

D is the correct answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option The graph will be a dashed line with a y-intercept of negative eight and a slope of three. The graph will be shaded above

the line

Explanation:

we have

`y>3x-8`

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line The equation of the dashed line is
`y=3x-8`

The slope of the dashed line is positive
`m=3`

The y-intercept of the dashed line is -8
