Answer:
(b) y < x-1; y ≤ -2x+2
Explanation:
You want to know the inequalities represented on the graph showing a solid line with negative slope and a y-intercept of 2, and a dashed line with positive slope and a y-intercept of -1, where the shading is below both lines.
Line type
If the line is included in the solution set (≤ or ≥ is used), the boundary line is graphed as a solid line. If the line is not included in the solution set (< or > is used), the boundary line is graphed as a dashed line.
Here, the line with positive slope is dashed, and the line with negative slope is solid.
y = x -1 . . . . is a line with positive slope
y = -2x +2 . . . . a line with negative slope
Shading
The shading is below the line for y-values less than those on the line:
y < x -1 . . . . shading below a dashed line with positive slope
y ≤ -2x +2 . . . . shading below a solid line with negative slope
These are the inequalities of interest.
