I am having a hard time with graphing solution of a system of inequalities. y>(or equal to) -x+3 y<(or equal to) 3x+5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

To graph y >= -x+3, follow these steps Step 1) Graph y = -x+3 Step 2) Make the line a solid line Step 3) Shade above this solid line (since you have a >= sign)

So a point would be (0,3) and then I go over 1 and down 3?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start with (0,3) slope is -1, so you go down 1, over to the right 1 to get to the next point (1, 2) Two points are: (0,3) and (1,2) Plot them and draw a line through them

so I guess I am confused, the slope for the other one is 3x?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first point: (0,5) use the slope 3 or 3/1 to start at (0,5), then go up 3 units and to the right 1 unit to get the next point (1, 8) Next point: (1,8) plot the two points, draw a straight line through them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I am shading the area where they share points so that menas just that the area where both equations have points in that area

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

exactly, basically where the two shaded regions overlap

ok I am doing this online soetimes this just doesnt click but I really appreciate your help. got the right answear finally, was making it much more difficult than that thank you
