Math Problem Statement
The boundary line on the graph represents the equation 5x+2y=6. Write an inequality that is represented by the graph.
Solution
To write an inequality represented by the graph with the boundary line , we need to determine which side of the line the shaded region represents.
Given the boundary line: we can follow these steps to establish the inequality:
-
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form to help visualize the inequality:
-
Determine which side of the line is shaded: If the region above the line is shaded, the inequality would be . If the region below the line is shaded, it would be .
-
Choose the correct inequality sign based on the shaded region: Since I don’t have direct shading information here, check where the shading lies relative to the boundary line.
-
Final Inequality:
- If the shaded area is above the line, the inequality is .
- If the shaded area is below the line, the inequality is .
Verify the shading to confirm the inequality sign.
