You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can't really show you this graph, you'll have to use you're imagination.
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the line just like you would a regular line only use a dashed line because it doesn't actually equal.
\n" ); document.write( "x-y<5
\n" ); document.write( "-x+x-y<-x+5
\n" ); document.write( "-y<-x+5
\n" ); document.write( "You have to flip the inequality sign over whenever you multiply or divide by a negative number:
\n" ); document.write( "-1(-y)>-1(-x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "y>x-5
\n" ); document.write( "This is in slope intercept form: y=mx+b, m=slope, (0,b)=y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "From that point, use your slope $\"m=rise%2Frun\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, there is nothing infront of the x, so m=1.
\n" ); document.write( "Think of that as m=1/1.
\n" ); document.write( "So from (0,-5) go up 1 and right 1 and plot another point at (1,-4).
\n" ); document.write( "Connect the two points with a dashed line.
\n" ); document.write( "When y< you shade below the line, when y> you shade above the line.
\n" ); document.write( "In your case shade above the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Imagine the graph below, with a dahsed line and the area above the line shaded:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx-5%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
