how do you know which way to shade the number line based on the inequality?

Question

saifoo.khan · Answer

if, y >    so shade upper part of the line.

If, y <     so shade the lower part.

anonymous · Answer

Pick a point either above or below the line, such as 0,0. Plug that into your inequality. If true, shade. IF not, shade the opposite side.

anonymous · Answer

test a point on the equation, if it passes, then color tat area, if it does not, shade opposite side!

anonymous · Answer

wait.. how do you test the point?

anonymous · Answer

plug a point into the original equation

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

Plug in the X value for X and the Y value for Y. 

Example: y> x+3

Plug in the point 0,0....  0>0+3. This is FALSE. Thus, shade the other side of the line where (0,0) is not.
