Hi
Note: the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
I.Putting the Inequality in terms of y gives us slope-intercept format
In terms of y Slope y-intercept shaded area
x-2y>3 y < x/2 - 3/2 m = 1/2 (0,-3/2) Below line
x+3y-7<0 y <-x/3 + 7/3 m = -1/3 (0,7/3) Below line
y<(-1/2)x-1 y <(-1/2)x-1 m= -1/2 (0,-1) Below line
(-1/2)x+y-1<0 y < x/2 + 1 m = 1/2 (0,1) Below line
x>-y+2 y > -x+2 m = -1 (0,2) Above line
II. Graph line:
Plot the y-intercept Pt and
Use slope to find two other points starting from y-intercept Pt
III. Shade Area defined by the Inequality (above or Below line)
(Note: the inequalities listed here do not include the line)
have completed grahing for the first, the remainder are done in the same way.
x-2y>3 OR y < x/2-3/2 m = 1/2 (0,-3/2) Below line
Note: m = 1/2, as y increases/decreases by 1, x increases/decreases by 2
