Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? 6x - y < -3 6x + y < 3 -6x + y < 3 The correct inequality is not listed

help is needed

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you have the y-int = 3 and the sign is (less than)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

it is a positive slope because of the direction of the line

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

convert it as y = mx + b, should be a positive m and b = 3

thanks :)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

did you get the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

which one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one i think

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no it can not be the first one because that will convert to 6x - y <-3 -y <-6x -3 y>6x + 3 the sign changes to more than, therefore is not good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

Now the third one -6x + y < 3 converts to y < 6x + 3 , there you have the positive slope and 3 as y-int also the less than sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
