can somebody help me plot these constraints

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x+y \le12\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

do you know how to graph the line y=-x+12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (freckles):

do you know how to find y when x=-1? or do you know how to find y when x=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (freckles):

what is y when x=-1? replace x with -1 and find out like so: y=-(-1)+12 evaluate/simplify what is y when x=1? replace x with 1 and find out like so: y=-(1)+12 evaluate/simplify

OpenStudy (freckles):

If you aren't sure what I'm asking, I'm asking you to do the following: Evaluate -(-1)+12 and Evaluate -1+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

OpenStudy (freckles):

-1+12=11 but -(-1)+12=1+12=13 so when x=-1 you have y=-(-1)+12=13 and so when x=1 you have y=-(1)+12=-1+12=11 So you can graph the ordered pairs (-1,13) and (1,11) as a start to plotting the line. Then once we have the line we have to work with the inequality part.
