Question

Identify the inequality that describes this graph​

Answer 1

Option 2: y ≥ x + 5

Explanation:

"y ≥ [equation]" means everything above line is shaded.

"y ≤ [equation]" means everything below line is shaded.

Everything above the line is shaded in the equation so the correct option is the one with a "y ≥ [equation]" (2nd option).

Answer 2

y ≥ x + 5

Explanation:

When graphing inequalities

• use a dashed line for < or >
• use a solid line for ≤ or ≥
• Shade above the line for greater than: y > or y ≥
• Shade below the line for a less than: y < or y ≤

Therefore, as the shaded is above the line, the inequality is y ≥ x + 5
