Answer:

y > (1/3)x - 3.

Explanation:

The graph of a line can be written in y = mx + b form where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

In the image, the slope of the graph from the given points is 1/3.

In the image, the y-intercept is -3.

Therefore, the line is y = (1/3)x -3. However, we aren’t done yet! This is an inequality, not an equation!

We see the line isn’t dotted, so that means it must be > or <.

We substitute the point (0,0) into the line equation we got and find that 0 > (1/3)(0) - 3 = -3. Since (0,0) is part of the inequality, we have that y > (1/3)x - 3.

I hope this helps! :)
