Question

can someone please help me with this math question? please I'll fan and give a medal...

Answer 1

show the steps to graph this equation
y > 3x - 8

Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 can you please try to help me?

Answer 3

first step is to replace the > with =

so y > 3x - 8 becomes y = 3x - 8

Answer 4

are you able to graph y = 3x - 8 @abbycross167 ?

Answer 5

no sir/ma'am

Answer 6

if x is equal to say x = 0, then what must y be?

replace every copy of x with 0 and evaluate to find out

Answer 7

y = 3x-8

y = 3*0 - 8 ... replace every x with 0

y = ???

Answer 8

-8?

Answer 9

yes so (0,-8) is one ordered pair. It's one point on the graph

to find another, plug in x = 1 and determine what y must be

Answer 10

y = 3x-8
y = 3*1 - 8 ... replace every x with 1
y = 3?

Answer 11

3*1 turns into 3

3-8 is NOT equal to 3

Answer 12

so y=5?

Answer 13

you subtracted in the wrong order

3-8 = -5

small minus big = negative number

Answer 14

plugging in x = 1 leads to y = -5

Answer 15

(0,-8) is one point on the graph
(1,-5) is another point on the graph

plot the two points, then draw a straight line through them. Make sure the line extends as far as possible in both directions

Answer 16

okay, thank you so much I really appreciate your help!!

Answer 17

after you get the line graphed, you'll just shade above the dotted line to graph y > 3x-8

Answer 18

yes sir thank you again!

Answer 19

no problem
