Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have graphed linear equations and inequalities, working this should not be stressful. You are working backward from the graph to determine what the equation must be.
__
For the solid line, the y-intercept is +9 (where it crosses the y-axis) and the slope is 1 unit of rise for each 1 unit of run. The slope-intercept form of the equation is then ...
y = x + 9
Since the line is <em>solid</em> and the shading is <em>above</em> it, the associated inequality is ...
y ≥ x + 9
__
For the dashed line, the y-intercept is -10. The line has a "rise" of -4 for each 1 unit of run, so its slope is -4. The slope-intercept form of the equation is then ...
y = -4x -10
Since the line is <em>dashed</em> (does not include the "or equal to" case), and shading is <em>above</em> it, the associated inequality is ...
y > -4x -10
__
In summary, the system of inequalities is ...
_____
If shading is below, then the relation symbol is < or ≤.
__
You know that slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept
