Question

The range of a certain linear function consists of all negative real numbers and zero. Determine which option gives this information in the form of an inequality.(1 point)

0≤x≤∞

−∞<y<0

−∞<y≤0

−∞<x≤0

Answer 1

−∞ < y ≤ 0

Reason: the range is all real numbers ≤ 0 (including 0 and arbitrarily large negative values), so y has no finite lower bound but is at most 0.
