Question

Write the linear inequality shown in the graph. The gray area represents the shaded region.

Answer 1

a) It is a straight line.
b) Assume the grey area touches the -3

Answer: y ≥ -3

Answer 2

`y>-3`

Explanation:

The graph is a horizontal line at -3

For any horizontal line the equation is y= some number

WE have a horizontal line at -3 , so the equation of that line is

`y=-3`

Now we look at the shaded region

We have dotted line , so we can use > or < symbol

The shaded gray area is at the top . for top shaded area we use greater than symbol.

`y>-3`
