Is the inequality -x-4y>3 in correct form for graphing?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "No you want it in the slope/intercept form which is y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Do this
\n" ); document.write( "-x - 4y > 3
\n" ); document.write( "add x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-4y > x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "y has to be positive, multiply both sides by -1, this reverses the inequality sign
\n" ); document.write( "4y < -x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "y < \"-1%2F4\"x - \"3%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute values for x and find y, lets say x = -4 and x = +4
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-4 |1/4; [y = \"-1%2F4\"*-4 - \"3%2F4\" = +1 - \"3%2F4\" = \"1%2F4\"]
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "+4 |-7/4 ; [y = \"-1%2F4\"*4 - \"3%2F4\" = -1 - \"3%2F4\" = \"-7%2F4\"]
\n" ); document.write( "Graph points, -4,1/4 and +4,-7/4. Should look like this
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-3%2C+3%2C+-.25x-.75%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "However the inequality sign is < so the area of feasibility is below the line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
