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 \((0, 4)\).
-
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 \((x_2, y_2) = (0, 4)\): \[ m = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \]
-
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: \[ y = 2x + 4 \]
-
Rearranging the equation: We can express this in the standard linear form: \[ 2x - y + 4 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -y = -2x - 4 \] Flipping the signs: \[ y = 2x + 4 \]
-
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: \(y > 2x + 4\).
