Graph the solution set for the inequality [tex]y \ \textgreater \ 2x - 5[/tex] by following these steps:

Step 1: Identify the slope and [tex]y[/tex]-intercept.
- Slope: [tex]2[/tex]
- [tex]y[/tex]-intercept: [tex]-5[/tex]

Step 2: Create a table of values.

x & y \\
\hline

\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]



Answer :

Let's solve the problem step by step.

### Step 1: Identify the slope and [tex]\(y\)[/tex]-intercept.

The inequality given is [tex]\(y > 2x - 5\)[/tex].

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is [tex]\(y = mx + b\)[/tex], where [tex]\(m\)[/tex] is the slope and [tex]\(b\)[/tex] is the y-intercept.

From [tex]\(y > 2x - 5\)[/tex]:
- The slope [tex]\(m = 2\)[/tex]
- The [tex]\(y\)[/tex]-intercept [tex]\(b = -5\)[/tex]

### Step 2: Fill in the table with some values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] and the corresponding boundary line values of [tex]\(y\)[/tex].

Next, we’ll determine the values of [tex]\(y\)[/tex] for different values of [tex]\(x\)[/tex], using the equation [tex]\(y = 2x - 5\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline x & y \\ \hline -3 & -11 \\ -2 & -9 \\ -1 & -7 \\ 0 & -5 \\ 1 & -3 \\ 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

This table lists the [tex]\(y\)[/tex] values from the line equation [tex]\(y = 2x - 5\)[/tex] for the chosen [tex]\(x\)[/tex] values.

### Step 3: Graph the boundary line and the solution set.

To graph the inequality [tex]\(y > 2x - 5\)[/tex]:

1. Plot the boundary line [tex]\(y = 2x - 5\)[/tex]:
- This is a straight line with a slope of 2 and a [tex]\(y\)[/tex]-intercept of [tex]\(-5\)[/tex]. Use the points from the table to plot this line.

2. Choose a test point (e.g., [tex]\((0,0)\)[/tex], which is not on the line):
- Substitute [tex]\(x = 0\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 0\)[/tex] into the inequality:
[tex]\[ 0 > 2(0) - 5 \implies 0 > -5 \][/tex]
- The test point [tex]\((0,0)\)[/tex] satisfies the inequality, so this is part of the solution set.

3. Shade the region above the boundary line:
- Since the inequality is [tex]\(y > 2x - 5\)[/tex], shade the region above the boundary line (do not include the line itself, since the inequality is strict).

This is how you graph the solution set for the inequality [tex]\(y > 2x - 5\)[/tex].
