(05.05) Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? (1 point)

Choice C.  

==========================================================

Explanation:

The boundary line is a solid line and it's horizontal. Every point on the boundary line has y coordinate -1. So y = -1 is the equation of the boundary line. We can write it as y = 0x-1.

The shading is above the boundary line, so the inequality is

Any point (x,y) in the shaded region has y coordinate that is y = -1 or greater.

For example, the point (0,2) in the shaded region has y coordinate y = 2, and it satisfies the inequality because is a true statement.

Note: the boundary line is solid, so any point on the boundary line is part of the shaded solution set. This is due to the "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign.

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
