Question

abbycross167 · Answer

show the steps to graph this equation  
x - y <= -8

abbycross167 · Answer

wait I'm not sure how to solve for y @Mertsj

abbycross167 · Answer

so x-y<= -8-x?

abbycross167 · Answer

so 
-1*-y>-x-8*-1?

abbycross167 · Answer

@Mertsj

abbycross167 · Answer

okay then what? is there another step?

abbycross167 · Answer

y=x+8?

abbycross167 · Answer

okay done

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

@Mertsj the line should be solid because the inequality sign has an "or equal to" part to it

abbycross167 · Answer

oh okay

abbycross167 · Answer

@Mertsj  all of your comments were deleted... I can't see any of them

mertsj · Answer

Jim will help you now.

abbycross167 · Answer

oh okay, well thank you for helping me get a start

abbycross167 · Answer

@jim_thompson5910  would you mind helping again?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I'm not sure what was wrong other than the dotted line. No need to delete the comments

abbycross167 · Answer

I'm not sure...

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

where did you leave off? which part did you get to again?

abbycross167 · Answer

y>x+8

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

it's $\Large y \ge x+8$ ? or $\Large y > x+8$ ?

abbycross167 · Answer

just > no line under it

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

why do you have `x - y <= -8` then?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

<= means there's a line under the inequality

abbycross167 · Answer

oh I don't know, that was just one of my answer choices... I would think my teacher would put the line under it if she meant for it to have one :/

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

then there shouldn't be a line under the inequality in the original problem

abbycross167 · Answer

so the line needs to be dashed?

<< show the steps to graph this equation x - y <= -8 >> so this mean x-y equal or less than -8 from this result y >= x+8 for x=-8 you get y=0 and for x= 1 result y= -7 - so now graph these points with coordinates (-8,0) and (1,-7)
