Question

I don’t understand graphs

Answer 1

y ≤ 2.5x + 5

Explanation:

first step is to obtain the equation of the line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(5-0)/(0-(-2))` =
`(5)/(0+2)` =
`(5)/(2)` = 2.5

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5 ) ⇒ c = 5

y = 2.5x + 5 ← equation of line

since the line is solid then inequality will be ≤

the solution to the inequality is the blue region below the line , then

y ≤ 2.5x + 5 ← inequality represented by graph
