Answer: y > (1/3)x - 3
Step-by-step explanation
The dashed boundary line goes through (0,-3) and (3,-2). Use the slope formula to find the slope is 1/3. It means we go up 1, then right 3.
m = 1/3 = slope
b = -3 = y intercept
The equation y = mx+b turns into y = (1/3)x - 3
Change the equal sign to a greater than because we shade above the boundary. We don't have "or equal to" because the boundary isn't solid. Points on the boundary are not part of the shaded solution set. Think of it like an electric fence you can get closer to, but cannot touch.
We go from y = (1/3)x - 3 to the answer of y > (1/3)x - 3
