Question

Graph the following linear inequality.
6x+5y<5

Answer 1

Convert to y<mx + b
Then graph it like normal.

Test the point on either side of the graph you just created, if it doesn't make sense then the region which you pick the point is not true, so it has to be the other one.

That's it! That's all you need to graph it. Try this and see if you get the right answer :)

Answer 2

5y<6x+5?

Answer 3

5y< -6x + 5
then divide both sides by 5, you get
y<-6x/5 + 5

Answer 4

Graph that :)

Answer 5

\[y<\frac{ -6x }{ 5 }+5?\]

Answer 6

Or does the x belong on the outside of the fraction?

Answer 7

outside, or inside, it's the same thing :P

Answer 8

oh, and one more thing. Since this inequality is a "less than", remember to draw your graph with dash lines

Answer 9

Got it! So I just take random #s and sub them for x? like -1,0,1?

Answer 10

both x and y, just plug it in, see if it makes any sense

Answer 11

Ok, ill try

Answer 12

I'm lost, can you find one point cuz im pretty sure im doing it wrong

Answer 13

tell me what you did

Answer 14

-1<-6/5(-1)+5

Answer 15

so... is that true?

Answer 16

the right hand side is 6.2, so obviously 6.2 is greater than -1 right?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

so because that region that you tested give you the right solution, should should color that side in

Answer 19

and you're done!

Answer 20

how did u get 6.2?

Answer 21

-6/5 * (-1) +5
= 6/5 + 5
= 1.2 + 5
= 6.2

Answer 22

Ohhhhhh, ok so I plot -1,-1?

Answer 23

no, you just use a point on the region of the graph to see whether if your given equation decribes that region or not

Answer 24

So what do I plot?
