how do you graph the inequality b-3/8<1/8?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "You NEVER graph an inequality directly.
\n" ); document.write( "You ALWAYS graph the boundary, which is an equality.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "b-(3/8) < (1/8)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "b < 4/8
\n" ); document.write( "b < 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "So, graph the boundary, which is b = 1/2, as a dashed line.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "This is a horizontal line passing thru ALL points where b = 1/2.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the Inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "Since you want b LESS than 1/2, shade the half-plane BELOW the
\n" ); document.write( "boundary to get:
