Answer:

Explanation:

y > (1/3)x + 4 has an infinite number of solutions. Draw a dashed line representing y = (1/3)x + 4 and then pick points at random on either side of this line. For example, pick (1, 6). Substitute 1 for x in y > (1/3)x + 4 and 6 for y. Is the resulting inequality true? Is 6 > (1/3)(1) + 4 true? YES. So we know that (1, 6) is a solution of y > (1/3)x + 4. Because (1, 6) lies ABOVE the line y = (1/3)x + 4, we can conclude that all points abovve this line are solutions.
