how can i rewrite the following inequality in the form y = mx + b

f(x) > x

you can't change an inequality into an equality.

were you thinking something like f(x) > 1x + 0 ??

no this is how its written in my homework that's why i am confused .

5x-6<14

Y=-5=3(x+1)

To rewrite the inequality f(x) > x in the form y = mx + b, we first need to define what f(x) represents. In this case, f(x) is a function, and we can rewrite it as y.

So, the inequality f(x) > x can be rewritten as y > x. Now, we need to rearrange this inequality to be in the form y = mx + b.

Since there is no constant term on the right side of the inequality, we can write it as y + 0 > x. Next, we move the x term to the left side and the y term to the right side to isolate y: y - x > 0. Here, we can see that the coefficient of y is 1, which means the slope (m) of the line is 1.

Finally, we can write this inequality in the form y = mx + b by assigning b the value of -x: y = 1x - x.

Therefore, the inequality f(x) > x can be rewritten as y = x - x or simply y = 0.
