Question

Help graphing linear inequality 5x-y<=6

Answer 1

5x-y<=6

-y <= -5x + 6

y >= 5x - 6

Answer 2

So 5x-y<=6 is the same as y >= 5x - 6

Answer 3

To graph y >= 5x - 6, you graph the line y = 5x - 6

Make it a solid line.

Then you shade above the line (since we have a >= sign)

Answer 4

Thanks. That made a lot of sense.

Answer 5

yw

Answer 6

What about one that looks like x<=-2y

Answer 7

Divide both sides by -2 (the sign will flip) to isolate y

x<=-2y

x/(-2) >= y

y <= -1/2x

So graph y = -1/2x, make it a solid line. Then shade below the line.
