is the inequality -x -4y>3 in correct graphing form??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends on what type of form you want it in, if its standard form you want it in y=mx+b

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

it is easier to draw the graph in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u show me how to get it to standard form? lik step me through it?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

in standard form you immediately know the slope and the y intercept

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

i have to go - i'm sure assassin can do a good answer for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help u did give!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x -4y>3 the idea is to get y by itself -4y>x+3 add x to each side y<x/-4 + 3/-4 divide -4 from each side and since its a negative you flip the sign y< - 1/4 x - 3/4 simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in reality it was not in the correct form for graphing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not exactly, when graphing you always want your equation in standard form which is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks!!
