Which of the following inequalities matches the graph?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

y >/= 3x - 5 y < 3x - 5 y < 1/3x - 5 The correct inequality is not listed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No Equal sign(< or >)... Dashed Line Equal sign(<= or >=)... Solid Line Check which slope works best. Remember:\[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

whats dashed and solid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On your graph check to see which it is: Dashed line is --------- Solid line is a line with no gaps.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

in this case its dashed??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. Since Dashed line means there is no "equal to", you have these two options left: y < 3x - 5 y < 1/3x - 5 So check which slope works.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Test each slope using rise/run. example: 3/1...start at any point on the line and "rise" 3 units and "run" 1 unit to the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 or 3/1

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

mmm

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

-_- idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay 3/1(same thing as 3)...Start at point (0, 5). Go up 3 spaces. Then, go right one space...Are you still on the dashed line?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

yes

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

well in the shaded part lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! So that's the correct slope; 3. So the answer is: y < 3x - 5
