Algebra.Com's Answer #237311 by neatmath(302)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When you graph an equation or function, you will end up with a line, whether it is curved or straight. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you graph an inequality, you will end up with a shaded region depicting an entire area of possible solutions. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example, it is easy to graph the equation y=x \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is just a straight line crossing through the origin, where each y value on the line is the same as the x value. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if you graph the inequality y>x \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you will end up with an entire shaded region above the line y=x \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where every y value is greater than any x value. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( " |
