Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given


x + 4y < 4

The question is incomplete, as what is to be done is not stated.

However, possible sub-questions could be to determine the slope and the y-intercept for the boundary line.

To calculate slope, we have:


x + 4y < 4

Solve for 4y


4y < - x + 4

Solve for y


y < -(x)/(4) + (4)/(4)


y < -(1)/(4)x + 1

A linear inequality is represented as:


y <mx + b

Where
m =slope and
b = y\ intercept

So:

By comparison:


mx = -(1)/(4)x


m = -(1)/(4)

and


b = 1

So:


Slope = -(1)/(4)


y\ intercept = 1
