Question

Which correctly describes how the graph of the inequality 4x - 2y > 20 is shaded?

Above the solid line

Below the solid line

Above the dashed line

Below the dashed line

Answer 1

First we need to express y in this inequality:
-2y > -4x + 20
-y > -2x + 10
y < 2x - 10

The line isn't solid because the "less" sign doesn't include equal in it.
Because the sign is "less than" the shaded part is Below the line.

Merging these 2 conclusion we get the answer:
below the dashed line.
