how do you graph inequalities

x-y<=3 xsqrd+y<=5

First off, let mesay that graphing linear inequalites is much easier than your book makes it look. Here's how it works: Think about how you've done linear inequalites on the number line. For instance, they'd ask you to graph something like x > 2. How did you do it? You would draw your number line, find the "equals" part (in this case, x = 2), mark this point with the appropriate notation (an open dot or a parenthesis, indicating that the point x = 2 wasn't included in the solution), and then you'd shade everything to the right, because "greater than" meant "everything off to the right". The steps for graphing two-variable linear inequalities are very much the same.

thank you, do i use y=mx+b? and how do i know when the shading is above or below the vertex?

Yes you do you y=mx+b! And you know when the shading is above when it's over positive 1

alright, thank you so much
