Algebra.Com's Answer #24152 by rapaljer(4671) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The \"or =\" just means to make the graph with a SOLID line, which means that the line itself is included. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In my opinion the easiest way to graph this is to use the intercepts method and graph the line with an \"=\" sign only.

Graph these two points, and remember that if you have a POSITIVE Y-coefficient, the \">\" or \">+\" means to shade ABOVE the line.

I don't know how to do this in algebra.com graphing so I'll graph the line, and YOU make it a SOLID LINE and SHADE ABOVE the line:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC \n" ); document.write( " |
