What is an inequality for this graph?

a. y < |x – 2| + 4

b. y ≤ |x – 2| + 4

c. y > |x – 2| + 4

d. y ≥ |x – 2| + 4

  B. y ≤ |x – 2| + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Shading is below the solid line, so the appropriate relation symbol is "less than or equal to" (≤).

Shading is below when y values less than those on the line are part of the solution set.

The line is solid when it is part of the solution set (dashed, otherwise). It is part of the solution set when y-values equal to those on the line are solutions to the inequality.

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
