How do I graph the inequality x + 3y < 6
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "You NEVER graph an inequality directly.
\n" ); document.write( "You first must graph the corresponding EQUALITY, which
\n" ); document.write( "is the boundary of the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Graph y = (-1/3)x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-1%2F3%29x%2B2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Since your inequality is y < (-1/3)x +2, you shade the
\n" ); document.write( "half-plane BELOW the boundary line.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "That shaded area is the graph of the inequality.
