Answer 5

first solve for y by getting y alone on one side :)

Answer 6

Well then put x=0 correct?

Answer 7

Then you would solve for x right?

Answer 8

yes, to get the y-intercept :)

Answer 9

Okay... So x=5 and y=2?

Answer 10

Then what?

Answer 11

Wait (5,2)

Answer 12

not quite
when you solve for y
you get --> y> -2/5 x + 9/5
so y-intercept: y = 9/5

Answer 13

Then what do you do? I know you have a dotted line and you shade in part, but what part?

Answer 14

once you get your dotted line you would shade in the part above the line because of the "y >" part :)

Answer 15

Okay, so if it were the same problem but a < sign it would be shaded at the bottom?

Answer 16

yep :)

Answer 17

Okay, thanks for clearing that up!
