Question

....

Answer 1

First let's graph 3x + 2y = –5

3x + 2y = –5

2y = –5 - 3x

2y = -3x –5

y = -3/2x –5/2

So this is a line that starts at (0, -5/2) and goes down 3 and over 2 to get the next point.

Answer 2

The line is a dashed line

The slope is negative. So that rules out choices C and D

Answer 3

Let's see if the origin is in the solution set

3x + 2y > –5

3(0) + 2(0) > –5

0 + 0 > -5

0 > -5

which is true

So (0,0) is in the shaded region

So this means we shade above the dashed line

Answer 4

B?

Answer 5

good catch, it is B
