how do I do this? it says to graph a compound inequality

OpenStudy (pphalke):

will throw out medals

OpenStudy (peachpi):

do you know how to graph the lines? eg, \(3x+4y=12\) and \(x-2y=2\)

OpenStudy (peachpi):

that's the first thing you have to do. You can plug in 0 for x to find the y-intercepts and plug in 0 for y to find the x-intercepts. That should give you the two points you need to graph each line.

OpenStudy (pphalke):

for the 3x+4y=12 I got y=3 so a point would be (0,3) right? I got y=(0,3) and x=(4,0) would this be right @peachpi

OpenStudy (peachpi):

yes. and you want to use a dashed line because the sign is <. Use dashed lines for < and > and solid for ≥ and ≤

OpenStudy (pphalke):

then the next would be (0,-1) and (2,0)? @peachpi

OpenStudy (peachpi):

right

OpenStudy (peachpi):

so you should have something like this, |dw:1461711387496:dw|
