The equation for a line is y = mx + b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope is -1/3 (rise: 1, run: -3)
And the y-intercept is at -4.
So the equation for the line is:
y = -1/3x - 4
And we want all the y values BELOW the line of -1/3x - 4 as well as the values on the line because it’s not dotted. So instead of equals we write:
y <= -1/3x - 4
“Y is less than or equals to -1/3x - 4” where it includes the solutions on the line, as well as any solutions below it.
y <= -1/3x - 4 is the answer
