Answer

Not a function Graph of $4x-5y<15$

Work Step by Step

To graph the given inequality, $4x-5y<15$, graph its equivalent inequality first and use a testpoint to determine the area of the solution. The equation, $ 4x-5y=15 $, is a line. To graph this equation, use substitution to find two points that are on the line defined by the equation. Using substitution, \begin{array}{l|r} \text{If }x=0: & \text{If }x=5: \\\\ 4(0)-5y=15 & 4(5)-5y=15 \\ 0-5y=15 & 20-5y=15 \\ -5y=15 & -5y=15-20 \\\\ y=\dfrac{15}{-5} & -5y=-5 \\\\ y=-3 & y=\dfrac{-5}{-5} \\\\ & y=1 .\end{array} Therefore, the points $(0,-3)$ and $(5,1)$ are on the line defined by the given equation. Plotting these points and connecting these using a broken line (since the inequality used is $
