OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Solve the first equation for y 2. Mark the y intercept on the graph 3. From the y intercept go down one and right one as indicated by the slope. 4. Draw a solid line through those points. 5. Shade with horizontal lines above the line you just drew.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I solve for y

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Subtract x from both sides

OpenStudy (mertsj):

For the second equation: 1. Mark the y intercept on the graph 2. From the y intercept go up 2 and right 1 as indicated by the slope 3. Draw a dotted line through the points 4. Shade with vertical lines below the line you just drew. 5. The checkerboard area is the solution set of the system of inequalities.

is that for the first one

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I cannot open your drawing.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The draw function is not working.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-x > 4 is that for the first one but the underlined greater then its just not on my keyboard

OpenStudy (mertsj):

y>-x+4 is the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how do you solve from there

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Refer to the steps I posted above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I know I need to solve y so how do I get my y coordinate

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you mean the y intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes didn't you say I need to solve for that

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Once you have solved the equation for y it looks like this: y=mx+b

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When it is in that form, the y intercept is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the y intercept is 4

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So in your case, y >-x+4 the y intercept is 4 since 4 is in the place of b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have to solve for x
