Question

In graphing the equation y<2x -5, the line is dotted and shaded below the line drawn.

True

False

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  'less than' so the area below the line is shaded.

It is a dotted line  because the solution does not contain points on the line as the inequality sign is < NOT ≤.

Answer 2

Answer:

First option: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given this inequality:

$y<2x -5$

We know that the line is:

$y=2x -5$

Whose slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -5

The symbol "<" provided in the inequalty, indicates that the shaded region must be below the line and the line must be dotted. Therefore, the answer is: TRUE.
