Question

PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS:An inequality in two variables is written and graphed

Answer 1

x + 2y < 10 (your two variables are x and y)

to graph it, you want to put it in y = mx + b form
x + 2y < 10
2y < -x + 10
y < -1/2x + 5

your y intercept is 5, because in y = mx + b form, the b is the y intercept.
to find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y...
x + 2y < 10
x + 2(0) < 10
x < 10
x intercept is 10.

your slope is -1/2...that means from point (0,5) come down 1(because it is negative) and go to the right 2 (because it is positive), then down 1 and to the right 2 and you should cross the x intercept at (10,0).

Also, it has an open dashed line because there is no equal sign and the shading is below the line because it is <(less then)

Answer 2

does that help ?

Answer 3

ok so my teacher said make An inequality in two variables that is written and graphed, and i had to do it on persian cats, 93 eat for $10.71 a month for less than 1,000. ..help?
