Question

How do I write an inequality in slope intercept form if the line is solid, crosses the x -axis at (0,-2.5) and the y-axis at (5,0), and is shaded up.

Answer 1

Welcome to Open Study.

Answer 2

Thanks

Answer 3

If the line is solid then it will be greater than or equal to or less than or equal to.

Answer 4

Alright, what next?

Answer 5

The area where it crosses the x-axis is the x-intercept and y would equal to 0.
The area where it crosses the y-axis is the y-intercept and x would equal to 0.

Answer 6

First you should find the slope of the line using the two points.

Answer 7

Using y=mx+b?

Answer 8

Then you put it in slope-intercept form.

Answer 9

How do you find the slope?

Answer 10

Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 11

Slope=(-2.5-0)/(0-5)

Answer 12

Slope=-2.5/-5

Answer 13

Slope=1/2

Answer 14

You should try to put it in point-slope form.

Answer 15

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Answer 16

It has to be in slope intercept form

Answer 17

You will convert it later on.

Answer 18

(-2.5-0)=1/2(0-5)

Answer 19

Alright, thanks btw!!!

Answer 20

What next?

Answer 21

-2.5=1/2(-5)+0

Answer 22

Make it an inequality by replacing the equal sign with a greater than or equal to sign or a less than or equal to sign.

Answer 23

Ok
