Question

Directions - Identify the key components and write an inequality for each graph.

(Look at image for graph)

Answer 1

The answer to your question is b = 3; m = 2/3; y ≥ 2/3x + 3

Explanation:

Data

Get two points from the line

A (-3, 1)

B (0, 3)

Process

1.- Find b

b is the y-coordinate, the point at which the line crosses the y-axis-

From the graph we notice that this point is 3.

2.- Find m

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

x1 = -3 y1 = 1

x2 = 0 y2 = 3

m = (3 - 1) / (0 + 3)

m = 2/3

3.- Find the inequality

y ≥ 2/3x + 3
