Solve for y -x<0.4y

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Divide both sides by 0.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 I've tried that but somehow when I graph it says i'm incorrect

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2.5x<y

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then flip things around to get y > -2.5x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you graph the line y = -2.5x make this line a dashed line then shade above the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me on the graph how it'll look please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when x = 0, y = -2.5x y = -2.5(0) y = 0 So the point (0,0) is on the line When x = 2, y = -2.5x y = -2.5(2) y = -5 So (2,-5) is also on the line

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Plot these two points. Then draw a dashed line through them

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Then shade above this dashed line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see where I made my mistake

Thanks :)
