Question 4579: I had this problem that I had gotten wrong on a test. Can you help me figure out?
Graph the solution set of the following system of linear inequalities.
x + 4y > 8
y < 2
Lines under the greater/less than signs.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you should solve the first equation for y: x + 4y > 8
4y > -x + 8
y > -1 /4x + 2,
then graph both equations an a graph.
Once you have them both graphed, shade for the first problem over the line (postive) and for the second one under the line (negative). My advice is to use
two different ways or shading. Wherever they are both shaded is your solution set for the problem.
