Answer:

y < -3/2x + 1

Explanation:

Points (-2,4) and (2, -2) are on the graph.

The graph crosses the y-axis at 1 so the y-intercept is 1

Slope = (change in the y-value)/(change in the x-value.

Slope = (-2 - 4)/ [2 - (- 2)]

Slope = -6/4

Slope = -3/2

The equation of the line : y = -3/2x + 1

Now the graph is dotted and it is shaded down.

Therefore the inequality is y < -3/2x + 1
