Sketch the graph of the inequality below.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph is a shaded area above the line y = 2x - 5. To graph a line, we can start by finding its x-intercept and the y-intercept. Setting y equal to 0, we get x = 5/2, which is the x-intercept. Setting x equal to 0, we get y = -5, which is the y-intercept. Plotting these points and connecting them with a straight line gives us the line y = 2x - 5. To shade the area above this line, we can pick a test point that is not on the line, such as (0,0), and plug it into the inequality y > 2x - 5. We get 0 > -5, which is true, so we shade the area above the line. The correct choice is C.
