How do you graph inequalities and how do you find the inequality of a graph? For example, graph 4x-y>6. *Sigh* will give medal~

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

you solve for y, as this will give you an equation similar to that of a regular equation

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so, in cases like this, you're going to want to isolate for y

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

4x-y>6 -4x -4x ------- -y>-4x+6 Now y is all by itself. So there is one last step we need to know in order to be able to graph this inequality. @sarenemun do you know what that would be?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

do you understand? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's like graphing regular equations but you just shade one side or something??

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

correct! But when solving for y, don't forget to change the direction of the inequality if you are dividing by a negative. Which is what you will have to be doing here

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Since this seems like a relatively simplest equation, you want to find an equation that you could easily graph. luckily, you could get this to slope-intercept form.

ah ah, okay thank you :) :) :)|dw:1447717818593:dw|
