Question

Write an inequality that represents the graph

Answer 1

y > 2x+1

Explanation:

Find an equation of the line: slope = 2, y-intercept = 1, y = 2x + 1

Find a point in the shaded area of the graph to substitute into the equation: ex. (0, 2), substituted in, it becomes 2 = 1

Change the sign so 2 = 1 becomes true; 2 > 1

Implement that sign into the original equation, and because it is a dotted line, not a solid one, the sign will not include "or equal to"

y > 2x + 1
