Question 970672
what is the slope intercept inequality of the line with the points of (0,-1) (6,3)? it has a straight line and shaded on bottom
------
Find the equation of the border::
slope = (3--1)/(6-0) = 4/6 = 2/3
intercept = f(0) = -1
Equation of border is y = (2/3)x -1
--------------------
Find equation of the shaded area::
Since the y-values of the shaded area are BELOW
the y-values of the line for any particular value
of "x", the shaded area satisfies "y is LESS than
(2/3)x-1
----------------
Combining the border and the shaded area points you get::
Ans: y <= (2/3)x-1
----------------------------
