Please help me with this one …..

is the clean area the desired one (I assume, yes)?

then y <= 3x + 5

if the dotted area is the desired area, then

y >= 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the factor of x is the slope of the line expressed as y/x ratio.

clearly, the line shows that for x changing by 1 unit y changes by 3 units. so, the slope is 3/1.

that leaves us only with the 2 middle options.

for "y <=" the desired values of y for a given x must be on the line (equal) or below (smaller than the value of the line equation). that is true, if the desired area is the clear one (no dots).

so, "y >=" is true, if the dotted area is desired.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

the answer is 24
