Question

PLLEEAASEE NEED HELP NOW!!! Graph x + 3y ≤ 6, indicating the solution set with crosshatching or shading. Explain how you determined where to draw the line and shade the area that represents the solution set.

Answer 1

you have to make the equation equal y=mx+b using PEMDAS backwards

Answer 2

I don't understand.. can you walk me through it?

Answer 3

sure (I just can't give you the answer because I have a warning)

Answer 4

ok so you have to imagine that the inequality symbol is an equal sign therefore if you had to solve for y in the equation of x+3y=6 how would you solve it?

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

you would first divide everything out by 3 and you would get x/2+y=2

Answer 7

@Daniellelovee

Answer 8

no remember that you are using PEMDAS backwards so you would substract x first

Answer 9

P-parenthesis
E-exponent
M-multiplication
D-division
A-addition
S-substraction

Answer 10

oh ok so 3y=6-x

Answer 11

yes and now you are just missing one more step to get your equation

Answer 12

now divide by 3 so it would be y=2-x/3

Answer 13

YES! :) you got it and now since we are using slope standard form we would change
y=2-x/3 to
y=-3/x+2

Answer 14

and put the inequality symbol into the = sign

Answer 15

how would I graph it?

Answer 16

have you graphed y=mx+b before?
you know x is the slope and +2 is the y intercept

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

ok then just do that until you have a line and then I'll tell you how to shade :)

Answer 19

Thanks so much you're a life saver :)))))

Answer 20

haha np ^.^

Answer 21

so you have your graph? :)

Answer 22

btw just a tip, since the slope is negative your line will go down
