I have been having a lot of trouble with this assignment and I don't really understand some of the graph so if anyone can a little help would be great

Answer:
1. The graph represents the inequality y > 2x + 1
2. The y-intercept (where a line meets the y-axis) is at point (0,1). This line rises by 2 for every point it moves to the right (this is called the slope). A dotted line means that point on the line are not included in the solution set, thus you use the > symbol.
