Question

Graph the following linear inequality:

x - 3 y > 3

Answer 1

@ranga @whpalmer4 @jigglypuff314
Can you please him me?

Answer 2

use geogebra, idk how else to help..

Answer 3

what's geogebra?

Answer 4

It's an online graphing site, it's through Java. Look up geogebra online

Answer 5

first do you know how to graph the line
x - 3y = 3 ? :)

Answer 6

Ok, thanks @jadeybells
uhh, I think so, but probably not lol @jigglypuff314

Answer 7

well you can graph it using the intercept points

y-intercept is when x = 0

have you learn this before? I don't what to confuse you :/

Answer 8

Yes, but I don't really remember and I hate graphing lol
Do I sub x for 0, then do the same to find y?

Answer 9

yes :) you can plug in x=0 and get the y-intercept

then plug in y=0 to get the X-intercept

Answer 10

Ok, let me try & see if I do it right...brb

Answer 11

I got x=3 and y=1

Answer 12

careful :) there is a minus/negative in front of the y right?
so you'll get a y = -1

Answer 13

oooooh ok, I see it now, thank you
So I just plug those in: (3,0) & (0,-1)
How do I know which side to shade?

Answer 14

yes, you would draw those points
then draw a line through them to get your line :)

then when solving x - 3y > 3 for y

if it is a y > (something) you shade above the line
if it is a y < (something) you would shade below the line :)

Answer 15

So I shade above the dotted line? Got it! THanks.

Answer 16

You're Welcome ^_^
