Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the axes ranging from negative 5 to 5 in unit increments. Two points are plotted, with a dashed line passing through them. The dashed line passes through two points marked at left parenthesis negative 2 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 0 comma 4 right parenthesis. The line extends beyond both points. The area above the dashed line is shaded.

To find the coefficients for \(x\) and \(y\) in the given inequality \(y > x + 8\) based on the graph described, we can analyze the points that the dashed line passes through.

The two points marked on the dashed line are \((-2, 0)\) and \((0, 4)\).

  1. Calculate the slope of the line: The slope \(m\) is calculated using the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Where \((x_1, y_1) = (-2, 0)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (0, 4)\): \[ m = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \]

  2. Use point-slope form to find the equation of the line: Using the point-slope form \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\): \[ y - 0 = 2(x + 2) \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 2x + 4 \]

  3. Rearranging the equation: We can express this in the standard linear form: \[ 2x - y + 4 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -y = -2x - 4 \] Flipping the signs: \[ y = 2x + 4 \]

  4. Identifying the inequality: Since the area above the dashed line is shaded, the inequality is: \[ y > 2x + 4 \]

Thus, the coefficients for \(x\) and \(y\) in the inequality are:

  • Coefficient of \(x\) is \(2\)
  • Coefficient of \(y\) is \(-1\) (since it is \(y - 2x - 4 > 0\))

Therefore, the complete answer is:

Coefficients for \(x\) and \(y\) in the inequality: \(y > 2x + 4\).

no

I apologize for any confusion. Let's start over and address the problem more clearly.

Based on your description, it seems the dashed line passes through the coordinates \((-2, 0)\) and \((0, 4)\).

  1. Equation of the Line: We first find the slope between the two points: \[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{4}{2} = 2. \]

    Now we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1). \] Using point \((0, 4)\): \[ y - 4 = 2(x - 0) \implies y = 2x + 4. \]

  2. Rearranging the Equation: The equation in standard form is: \[ -2x + y - 4 = 0 \implies 2x - y + 4 = 0 \implies y = 2x + 4. \]

  3. Setting Up the Inequality: Since the area above the dashed line is shaded, we denote this as: \[ y > 2x + 4. \]

Based on the standard form of the line \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the coefficient of \(x\), we find:

  • Coefficient of \(x\) is \(2\),
  • Coefficient of \(y\) when rearranged to the form \(Ax + By > C\) is \(-1\) (which comes from the rearranged equation \(2x - y + 4 > 0\)).

So the inequality can be rewritten to show coefficients explicitly:

Answer:

The coefficients in the inequality \(y > 2x + 4\) are:

  • Coefficient of \(x\): \(2\),
  • Coefficient of \(y\): \(-1\).
