In the graph of an inequality, the region below a dashed line through the points (4, 3) and (0, 2) is shaded. What inequality does the graph represent?

Answer:

The inequality that represents the graph is  y < [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the region below a dashed line through the points (4,3) and (0,2) is shaded.

ii) first we find the equation of the line passing through the points (4,3) and (0,2)

(y - 3) = [tex](\frac{3 - 2}{4 - 0})[/tex](x - 4)    ⇒    y - 3 =  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex](x - 4)  

⇒  4y - 12 = x - 4       ⇒     4y = x + 8      ⇒     y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]x + 2

iii) for the area shaded below the line whose equation is given in ii) above the inequality that will represent the shaded region is given by

 y < [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]x + 2
