Answer:

[tex]y<-\dfrac{1}{4} x+1\\OR\\ 4y<-x+4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us try to find out the equation.

We can easily observe from the graph the values of x and y intercept.

x intercept is the value where y coordinate is 0.

We can see that y is 0 at x  = 4

So, x intercept (4, 0)

y intercept is the value where x coordinate is 0.

We can see that y is 1 at x  = 0

So, x intercept (0, 1)

Now, we have 2 points for the equation of line.

Slope intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

Slope of a line:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = 0\\x_2 = 4\\y_1 = 1\\y_2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{0-1}{4-0}\\\Rightarrow m =-\dfrac{1}{4 }[/tex]

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4} x+c[/tex]

Putting the point (0, 1):

[tex]1=-\dfrac{1}{4} \times 0+c\\\Rightarrow c = 0[/tex]

So, the equation becomes:

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{4} x+1[/tex]

Let us try to put a point (0, 0) in the equation.

LHS becomes 0.

RHS becomes 1.

LHS < RHS (Only less than sign used because the line is dashed not solid)

So, the inequality is:

[tex]y<-\dfrac{1}{4} x+1\\OR\\ 4y<-x+4[/tex]
