Answer:

y ≤ ¼x + 1

Explanation:

Starting from the y-intercept of course, use rise\run until you hit another endpoint [finding the rate of change (slope)]. That means me we go up north one block, then go over four blocks east, and since the slope is already simplified, we do not need to go any further. Now all we have left is to determine the correct inequality symbol, and since we know that the bottom portion of the graph is shared, we automatically know it is less than, but to check this, we need to do what is called a zero-interval test [do not recall the actual term], meaning that we plug in 0 for both y and x, getting 0 < 1, which is a GENUINE statement, so the bottom portion stays shaded, otherwise we would have had to shade the top portion if it were a false statement. Finally, we have to determine if we have to add an equivalence line under the inequality symbol, and we DO because as you can see, the line is SOLID BLACK. If it were DASHED BLACK, then it would stay "<" instead of "≤".

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
