Step 2.1.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2.1.2

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = 4$

$b = 1$

Step 2.1.3

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $4$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

Slope: $4$

y-intercept: $(0, 1)$

Step 2.2

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area above the boundary line since $y$ is greater than $4 x + 1$ .

$y > 4 x + 1$

Step 3

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$y > - 3$

$y > 4 x + 1$
