y ≤ x –

y ≥ x –

y ≥ x – 1.3

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph? y x 1.3 y x y x y x 1.3 class=

Verified Answer :

First we look for the equation of the line.

The generic equation is:

\(y = mx + b
\)

Where,

m: slope of the line.

b: cutting point with vertical axis.

The slope of the linear is given by:

\(m = \frac{-0.3 - (-1.3)}{3 - 0}
\)

\(m = \frac{-0.3 + 1.3}{3}
\)

\(m =\frac{1}{3}
\)

The point of cut with the vertical axis we observe it in the graph:


\(b = -1.3
\)

Then, the equation of the line is:

\(y =\frac{1}{3} x - 1.3
\)

To find the correct inequality, we evaluate points that belong to the solution in the given equation.

\(y \leq \frac{1}{3} x - 1.3
\)

For (5, 0) we have:


\(0 \leq \frac{1}{3} 5 - 1.3
\)

\(0 \leq 1.7 - 1.3\)

\(0 \leq 0.4\)

We observe that the inequality is met

Answer:

A linear inequality that is represented by the graph is:

\(y \leq \frac{1}{3} x - 1.3
\)

The linear equality represented by the graph is \(\boxed{y\leqslant\frac{1}{3}x-1.3}\).


Further explanation:


It is given that a line passes through points \(\left({0,-\,1.3}\right)\) and  \(\left({3,-\,0.3}\right)\) as shown below in Figure 1.

The slope of a line passes through points \(\left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right)\) and \(\left({{x_2},{y_2}}\right)\) is calculated as follows:

\(m=\frac{{{y_2}-{y_1}}}{{{x_2}-{x_1}}}\)                             .......(1)

Here, the slope of a line is denoted as \(m\) and points are \(\left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right)\) and \(\left({{x_2},{y_2}}\right)\) .

Substitute \(0\)  for \({x_1}\) , \(-1.3\)  for \({y_1}\) ,   \(3\) for \({x_2}\)  and \(-0.3\)  for \({y_2}\)  in equation (1) to obtain the slope of a line that passes through points \(\left({0,-\,1.3}\right)\)  and \(\left({3,-\,0.3}\right)\) .

\(\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{-0.3-\left({-1.3}\right)}}{{3-0}}\\&=\frac{1}{3}\\\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the slope is \(\frac{1}{3}\) .


The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope \(m\)  passes through point \(\left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right)\) is represented as follows:

\(y-{y_1}=m\left({x-{x_1}}\right)\)                                   ......(2)

Substitute \(0\)  for \({x_1}\) , \(-1.3\)  for \({y_1}\)  and \(\frac{1}{3}\)  for \(m\)  in equation (2) to obtain the equation of line.

\(\begin{aligned}y-\left({-1.3}\right)&=\frac{1}{3}\left({x-0}\right)\\y+1.3&=\frac{1}{3}x\\y&=\frac{1}{3}x-1.3\\\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the value of \(y\)  is \(\frac{1}{3}x-1.3\) .


Since the shaded part in Figure 1 is below the equation of line \(y=\frac{1}{3}x-1.3\) , therefore, less than sign is also used with “is equal to”.

Thus, the linear inequality is \(y\leqslant\frac{1}{3}x-1.3\) .

Thus, the linear equality represented by the graph is \(\boxed{y\leqslant\frac{1}{3}x-1.3}\) .
