Question 1085865: I need an example of how to solve this because I am not solving this correctly. This is my work (which is wrong)because I want it in y=mx+b so that I can get the slope (m) but im only able to solve for x.. please help.
9y+5x>=9y-20
9y+5x=9y-20
+9y
5x=-20
x=-20/5
x=-4, -4,0 but how do I then get the slope so I can graph this?
Below is the exact wording to the question:
Graph the solution set of the following linear inequality:
9y+5x>=9y-20

it in means solve for
in your case we have on both sides which cancel each other, so



-> so, you have solution set for : [, )
but, for there is no solution and there is no

The INEQUALITY results in:  <====== You are correct. Good job!!

This INEQUALITY has an UNDEFINED slope, and as such, represents a SOLID (UNBROKEN) VERTICAL line at x = - 4, and which is parallel to the y-axis. 

Now, since the INEQUALITY is: , you need to shade to the right of this VERTICAL LINE.

That's all!!
