Help me if you can , I’m struggling I don’t understand what to do . Please and thank you

Answer 1

Explanation:

So inequalities are

= equal to

> greater than

< less than

See how the shaded area is below the line? That means we will be using the less than symbol. Now to find the equation.

Equation is in y = mx + b form. m being the slope and b being the y intercept.

Find the Y-intercept is finding the value of y when x = 0. according to this graph when x is 0, it looks like y is -1, as indicated by that big blue dot.

y intercept = -1

to find slope we take these two blue dot points

(0, -1) and (1,0). Slope formula is...

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Now we plug in those points

`(0 - ( - 1))/(1 - 0) = (1)/(1) = 1`

So slope is 1

Now we plug these answers into y= mx+b to get

y = 1x -1 also known as y = x - 1

Remember we aren't using = though, were using <, making our final answer

`y < x - 1`
