does anyone have access to graphing that they can help me with a few problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, what's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to graph y>6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on a plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's the same as doing y = 6x, it would be just a line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but how would it look on a graph and would it be a solid line or broken and what side gets colored in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, as a straight line we know it will hit the y-axis and x-axis one time each right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

ok but how would it look on a graph and would it be a solid line or broken and what side gets colored in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well.. as the form of y = 6x it will be just a straight line and yes it's a solid line. To find the shaded part, choose a point on either side of the line and plug it back into the original equation. If you simplify and end up with a true inequality shade on this side of the line. If you get a false inequality shade on the other side of the line. It's often easiest to choose close to the origin, (-1,0). So, 0 > -6 (true) hence, that side of the line is the shaded area
