can someone please help me fix my math problem? please? I will fan and give a medal!! Question~
write the following inequalities in y = mx + b form. Please show all work.
–3x –4y 12
My answer~
Add 3x to both sides
-4y12+3x
Divide both sides by -4
(-4) -4y12+3x(-4)
(-4)/-4=1
3/(-4)= 0.75
=
1y12+0.75x

My answer~ 
Add 3x to both sides
 -4y>12+3x
 Divide both sides by -4 
(-4) -4y>12+3x(-4)
 (-4)/-4=1

What my teacher said was wrong~ "Watch your signs"

anonymous · Answer

Am example $$-1>-2$$ but multiply by -1 and $$1< 2.$$ But then you went to =, so that's ok, it's just a step late. But then when you reintroduce the < > sign, check you pick the right one. Just use numbers to check.

anonymous · Answer

*An example

anonymous · Answer

Oh, and it looks like you forgot to include your 12 went you divided.  Needed $$\frac{12+3x}{-4}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$-3x-4y>12$$
$$-4y>12+3x$$
$$y<-3+-\frac{3}{4}x$$

abbycross167 · Answer

So is 
−3x−4y>12
−4y>12+3x
y<−3+−34x
the first three steps?

anonymous · Answer

Yep, with more explication maybe.  You can always check the > < sign is the right way by subbing in numbers like (1,1) at the beginning and end of the question.

abbycross167 · Answer

oh ok... why does y<−3+−34x have the < when the other step have the >?

anonymous · Answer

it's the $$-1>-2$$but$$(-1)(-1)<(-2)(-1)$$$$1<2$$ thing.

anonymous · Answer

Try it with numbers. convince yourself.

@Redcan 
So would this be the answer?
Add 3x to both sides,
    -4y>12+3x
     Divide both sides by -4
-3x-4y>12
-4y>12+3x
Y<-3+-34x
    =
 1y>12+0.75x

@notshh Could you try to help me please?

notshh · Answer

it was looking good up until this line:
 Y<-3+-34x

abbycross167 · Answer

yes ma'am/sir, that one I was a little confused on...

notshh · Answer

-4y>12+3x

after dividing -4 from both sides you should get

y < (-3/4)x - 3

abbycross167 · Answer

oh okay so,
Add 3x to both sides,
    -4y>12+3x
     Divide both sides by -4
-3x-4y>12
-4y>12+3x
y<(-3/4)x-3
    =
 1y>12+0.75x
 This is right now?

notshh · Answer

how did you go from  y<(-3/4)x-3 to  1y>12+0.75x

abbycross167 · Answer

.... Umm, I'm not sure... I thought that Y<-3+-34x was the only thing wrong with it

notshh · Answer

it's the same equation

notshh · Answer

everything from Y<-3+-34x onwards was incorrect

abbycross167 · Answer

oh okay
