WAEC - Mathematics (1995 - No. 10)

Which of the following could be the inequality illustrated in the sketch graph above?

y≥2x+3
y≤-3x+3
y < 3x+2
y≤x +3
y≥3x+2.

Explanation

Gradient of the line = \(\frac{3 - 0}{0 - 1}\)

= -3

y = -3x + b.

Using (1,0), we have

0 = -3(1) + b

0 = -3 + b

b = 3

y = -3x + 3

\(\therefore\) The graph illustrates y \(\leq\) -3x + 3.
