Write the inequality in slope-intercept form: 9x-3y>12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for 'y', first subtract 9x to both sides, can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think so lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3y>-9x+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, now divide -3 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3x+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! But one mistake, it's - 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it -12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And we have to switch the sign when we divide by a negative number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry..you didn't do anything to 12..you have to divide -3 to 12 too. 12 / -3 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is -4 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep..xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So our final answer is: y < 3x - 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wasnt thinkin u had to divide -3 by that too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>3x-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, you got it.
