this is how it would look

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you first wanna get your inequalities in slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (aripotta):

can you do that?

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

step 1 => draw x - y = 3 step 2 => draw y + x = 2 step 3 => for the first equation check what region would it be for the inequality and use dotted line to represent this line. and shade the solution. step 4 => for the second equation check what region would it be for the inequality and use bold line to represent this line. and shade the solution. bold line shows included points with shaded area and dotted line shows excluded points while the shaded area shows included points in that case

OpenStudy (princeharryyy):

i hope u'll b able to make by yourself now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhm so 3-x<y and 2-x>/y

OpenStudy (aripotta):

x - y > 3 subtract x from both sides -y > -x + 3 since y shouldn't be negative, we're gonna multiply the whole inequality by -1, which will change all the signs and flip the inequality sign y < x - 3 y + x ≤ 2 subtract x from both sides y ≤ -x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it shows a bunch of question marks so y<-x+3 and then can you draw them

OpenStudy (aripotta):

refresh the page when it does the question mark thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the two equations are now y<-x+3 and y/<-x+2?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

y < x - 3 and y ≤ -x + 2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so to graph a line, you first plot the y-intercept

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so the first line has a y-intercept of -3. so make a point at (0,-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So first put in slope intercept form then graph the y intercept

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the slope is 1, so from (0,-3), we're gonna go up 1, and to the right 1, and make another point there.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (aripotta):

now that you have two points, you can draw the line through them

OpenStudy (aripotta):

since the inequality sign is <, the line will be dotted

OpenStudy (aripotta):

or dashed, whatever you wanna call it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is two equations so what about the other one.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you do that same thing with the other line. make a point at the y-intercept and make another point using the slope. so make a point at (0,2) and go down 1, and to the right 1, and make another point there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the slope is negative 1 so go down 1 and left 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right 1 okay

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, always to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i have two more questions if you dont mind.. helping if not its fine

OpenStudy (aripotta):

since the inequality sign is ≤, the line will be solid

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i can't really, my grandma wants me to start making dinner. good luck though :)

do you know somone who can help me ?
