Question

graph y > -1/3x+5
$y > - \frac{1}{ 3 } x + 5$
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The function is $y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5$

To graph the function, let us find the x and y intercepts.

To find x-intercept, let us substitute y=0 in the function $y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5$

$\begin{aligned}0 &=-\frac{1}{3} x+5 \\-5 &=-\frac{1}{3} x \\x &=15\end{aligned}$

Thus, the x-intercept is $(15,0)$

To find the y-intercept, let us substitute x=0, we get,

$\begin{aligned}&y=-\frac{1}{3}(0)+5\\&y=5\end{aligned}$

Thus, the y-intercept is $(0,5)$

The graph has no asymptotes.

To plot the points in the graph, we need to substitute the values for x in the function $y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5$, to find the y-values.

The points are $(-2,5.667),(-1,5.333),(1,4.667),(2,4.333),(3,4)$. The image of the graph and table is attached below:
