How do I graph 2y-5x<13
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Note: You NEVER graph an inequality directly.
\n" ); document.write( "You graph the boundary, which is an equality.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "1st: Solve for \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "2y < 5x+13
\n" ); document.write( "y < (5/2)x + (13/2)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: Graph y = (5/2)x+(13/2)
\n" ); document.write( "as a dashed line. That is the boundary.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: Shade the halp-plane BELOW the boundary
\n" ); document.write( "because you want y to be LESS than (5/2)x+(13/2).
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "That is the graph of the inequality.
