Which shows the graph of the solution set of 3y – 2x > –18?

OpenStudy (cp123):

do you have pictures of the graphs

OpenStudy (shakeria98):

yes.

alones (alones):

Oh you have to graph it?

OpenStudy (shakeria98):

OpenStudy (cp123):

start by putting it into slope intercept form: y=mx+b

OpenStudy (cp123):

also, notice it has a greater than sign. not a greater than or equal to, just greater than. this would make it a dotted line, not a solid line.

OpenStudy (cp123):

also, since it is greater than, this means that the shading is above the line. you can also test this by plugging in 0,0 into the slope intercept form of the inequality and seeing if it is true. if it is true, then the part of the graph with the point 0,0 would be shaded in.

OpenStudy (cp123):

the slope intercept form is y>2/3x -6.

OpenStudy (cp123):

is 0>-6? yes. so this means that the shading is ABOVE the line.

OpenStudy (cp123):

your answer is the 2nd one

OpenStudy (shakeria98):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (cp123):

your welcome. graphing inequalities takes some practice, so I hope i helped you understand better
