First off, what is the slope of the line?

anonymous · Answer

Then, remember that:

Greater than(>)... Shading ABOVE the line.
Less than(<)... Shading BELOW the line.

ok

soooooooo...

Okay I'll help with the slope in a sec. So what would the sign be? > or <

anonymous · Answer

<

anonymous · Answer

Right. So you have 
y < 1/3x + 3
and
y < 3/2x + 3

Remember in y = mx + b m is the slope. So your choices are a slope of 1/3 or 3/2. 

$$Slope=\frac{ rise }{ run }$$

Do you see point (-2, 0) and point (0, 3) on that line?

yess

anonymous · Answer

Okay from point (-2, 0) how many spaces do you RISE to get to (0, 3)|dw:1352132180715:dw|
