welshfella · Answer

have you got  a choice of graphs?

heart_offire · Answer

i do but i cant post it
its one of the choices that when i hover over with the mouse it gets bigger

welshfella · Answer

well lets first simplify the equation 
if we subtract 8 from both sides we get 
1/2 x  ≤  -5

can you draw the graph of  y = 1/2 x

welshfella · Answer

it will be a staright line and will pass through the origin because when x = 0 , y = 0 and it will have a slope of 1/2

heart_offire · Answer

as in now

welshfella · Answer

?

heart_offire · Answer

like graph it now?

welshfella · Answer

I cant draw it somewhow

heart_offire · Answer

ohhhhh. this isnt a line graph like x,y its a number line

heart_offire · Answer

my options are number lines

heart_offire · Answer

sorry for the confusion

welshfella · Answer

- the area  including and below  y = -5

heart_offire · Answer

my options are number lines not graphs

heart_offire · Answer

when it says graph it means graph on a number line @welshfella

welshfella · Answer

oh ok

welshfella · Answer

lets solve the inequality 

1/2 x + 8 <= 3
subtract 8 from both sides
1/2 x = -5 
 x = -5 * 2 = -10

welshfella · Answer

the  line graph should look  like this

|dw:1459712535866:dw|
