I need help figuring out this equation and I also need to graph it. Can you please help? 2(y+3)<4x. Thank you.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You have an inequality in 2 variables. You can solve for x in terms of y, or for y in terms of x, but that's all
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "To graph it, solve for y in terms of x:
\n" ); document.write( "2(y+3)<4x Divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "y+3<2x Subtract 3
\n" ); document.write( "y<2x-3
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "This is a linear function, so the graph will be a straight line. 2 points is sufficient to plot a straight line.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Use = instead of < to find 2 points.
\n" ); document.write( "x...y
\n" ); document.write( "0...-3 --> (0,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "2...+1 --> (2,1)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those 2 points and draw a line thru them. The line is where y = 2x-3.
\n" ); document.write( "The area below the line is where it's less than (<), not including the line.\r
