Answer

y≥2.5

Work Step by Step

Find the solution by isolating the variable, y, on one side of the inequality. y−1≥1.5⟶ add 1 to each side y−1+1≥1.5+1⟶ add y≥2.5 Check the endpoint. 2.5−1=?1.5 1.5=1.5✓ Check the inequality. 3−1≥?1.5 2≥1.5✓ Since 2.5 is included in the solution set, the endpoint of the graph will be a solid circle.
