## anonymous 3 years ago Hey would i wrote the equation for this p,ease explain in second grader terms=)

1. Venomblast

where the question?

2. anonymous

3. anonymous

how would i write an equatio n for that...im very confused..

4. Venomblast

so that a negative slope

5. anonymous

y=mx+b m=slope=rise over run= y/x

6. anonymous

plug in x*slope and minus it from y to get b and there is your equation

7. anonymous

uuuuuh? y=mx+b this doesnt make much sense...all the possible answers have like a greater than or equal to sign or a less than or equal to sign or < or >

8. anonymous

?

9. anonymous

the region below the line is shaded.. that means your equation will be less then ... and the line drawn is solid that means less then equal to..

10. anonymous

in case that line drawn would be dottted then you would just put less then sign.

11. anonymous

slope= -1/2 y intercept = 4 y=-1/2x+4

12. anonymous

like whats the blue print for the equation i have to write like y=mx+b but like only in that iother for

13. anonymous

it's an inequality, 1 second

14. anonymous

ok

15. anonymous

instead of y = it will be < or > or equal to or greater than/ less than that all depends on the shaded part of the graph

16. anonymous

like nubeer said shaded below the line less than and line is solid equal too.

17. anonymous

uuuh im so sorry im just very confused can you start over and make it a little more simple in steps i promise to fan and give you a medal if you do!

18. anonymous

$y \le -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } x + 4$
