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 $y = m x + b$ .

$m = 2$

$b = - 5$

Step 2.1.3

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

Slope: $2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 5)$

Slope: $2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 5)$

Step 2.2

Graph a solid line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $2 x - 5$ .

$y \leq 2 x - 5$

Step 3

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$x > 3$

$y \leq 2 x - 5$
