6x^2 - 8 = 4x^2 + 7x
6x^2 - 4x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
2x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; where a = 2, b = -7 and c = -8
d = (-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8)
d = 49 + 64
d = 113
the discriminant is greater than zero, so there are two real roots
Common ratio = second term / first term = 12 / 8 = 1.5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Determine the slope of the dashed line
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have
(-3,1) and (0,3)
substitute


step 2
Find the equation of the dashed line in slope intercept form

we have

---> given problem
substitute

step 3
Find the equation of the inequality
we know that
Is a dashed line and everything to the left of the line is shaded
so

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
