You can put this solution on YOUR website!
NOTE: If you have trouble graphing a straight line, with slope and y-intercept, see my NEW lesson plans in algebra.com for this topic under the heading of \"Graphing.\"\r

document.write( "For the inequality  , first graph the equation  , which is in slope-intercept form, with y-intercept at y=3, and slope =  . Begin by graphing the y-intercept by going up 3 units on the y-axis and put a point. From this point go UP 2 units, then go 1 unit to the right, and put another point. Connect the points, and that's your graph, which should look like this: \r

document.write( "Now because the problem is , with a >=, this means to shade ABOVE the line, and INCLUDE THE LINE, so draw the line SOLID. I can't do that shading with algebra.com, so you will have to do that for yourself.
