The dotted line passes through  (4, -3)  and  (3, -4)  ,

 

so its slope   =   \(\frac{-4--3}{3-4}\)   =   \(\frac{-1}{-1}\)   =   1

 

Using the point  (4, -3)  and the slope  1 , the equation of the dotted line is

 

y - -3  =  1(x - 4)

y  =  x - 4 - 3

y  =  x - 7

 

We want our inequality's solution set to be all points on one side of this line. It will be either

 

y  >  x - 7     or     y  <  x - 7

 

Since we want  (0, 0)  to be a solution, let's test that point to find the right one.

 

0  >  0 - 7                            or                            0  <  0 - 7

0  >  -7      this is true.                                        0  < -7      this is false.

 

The inequality that has  (0, 0)  as a solution is the one we want....that is

 

y  >  x - 7

Question what is it in standard form?

y  >  x - 7

                         Add  7  to both sides.

y + 7  >  x

                        Subtract  y  from both sides.

7  >  x - y

 

x - y  <  7
