Final answer:
The description that matches the graph of the inequality y > |x + 4| – 1 is a shaded region above a solid boundary line.
The answer is option ⇒1
Explanation:
The correct answer is 1. a shaded region above a solid boundary line.
To understand the graph of the inequality y > |x + 4| – 1, let's break it down into steps.
1. The expression |x + 4| represents the absolute value of (x + 4). The absolute value function always gives a non-negative value.
2. The expression |x + 4| – 1 represents the absolute value of (x + 4) minus 1.
3. The inequality y > |x + 4| – 1 means that y is greater than the value obtained by evaluating |x + 4| – 1 for different values of x.
4. To graph this inequality, we start by graphing the equation y = |x + 4| – 1. This equation represents the boundary line of the inequality.
5. The boundary line is a solid line because the inequality is strict (y >). This means that the points on the boundary line are not included in the shaded region.
6. The shaded region above the solid boundary line represents the values of y that are greater than |x + 4| – 1. This is because the inequality states that y is greater than the value obtained from the absolute value function.
Therefore, the description that matches the graph of the inequality y > |x + 4| – 1 is 1. a shaded region above a solid boundary line.
The answer is option ⇒1
