hi. I think i can help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the type of line is either solid or shaded. This is entirely related to whether or not the inequality contains an equal sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solid or dashed*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does the line slant from bottom right to upper left or from bottom left to upper right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you add 3x to both sides, you will get y>3x+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this is the equation of the boundary line. well, y=3x+6 is the equation of the boundary line. however, because there is no equal sign in the inequality, the line is dashed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

notice how i put the inequality in slope intercept form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where m=3 and b=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far so good or are you feeling queasy with questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt see you question about the origin, but it too can be answered shortly. The origin is the point (0,0). Does the shaded region contain the point (0,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pinkmommy, still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i guess you are not still there.. ummm... the region does not contain the origin. i hope this helps. take care

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol. i thought you had left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure. we can continue. If you need to take care of your son.. just let me know and i will be happy to wait.
