Question

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

Answer 1

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

If, y < so shade the lower part.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

wait.. how do you test the point?

Answer 5

plug a point into the original equation

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

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.
