\"system%28+x%2B+3y+%3E+-2%2C2x+%2B+y+%3C=2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We need to graph the line for \"x%2B+3y=-2\" as a dashed line to show that the points on that line are not part of the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "We need to graph part of the line for \"2x+%2B+y+=2\" as a solid line to show that those points are part of the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We need two points to determine each line, and I will find points that are easy to calculate and give me a good graph.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "For \"x%2B+3y=-2\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0\" --> \"x=-2\" gives us point (-2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2\" --> \"x-6=-2\" --> \"x=-2%2B6\" --> \"x=4\" gives us point (4,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "For \"2x+%2B+y+=2\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\" --> \"y=2\" gives us point (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0\" --> \"2x=2\" --> \"x=1\" gives us point (1,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Those two points are a bit too close together, but may still give us a decent graph.
\n" ); document.write( "Seeing the lines plotted may make what follows easier.
\n" ); document.write( " The solution will include all the points inside one of the four angles formed by the lines.
\n" ); document.write( "Using a test point that is not part of the lines would allow us to see if that point is on the same side of each line as the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "The easiest test point is (0,0), the origin, with \"x=0\" and \"y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting, we find that (0,0) is part of the solution for both inequalities:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3y=0%2B3%2A0=0%3E-2\" and \"2x%2By=2%2A0%2B0=0%3C2\"
\n" ); document.write( "So we shade the wedge that contains the origin, and plot the lines, dashed and solid as needed.
\n" ); document.write( " The intersection of the two lines is not part of the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "Its coordinates satisfy the equations of both lines, including \"x%2B+3y=-2\", but it do not satisfy the inequality \"x%2B+3y%3E-2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
