Graph the inequality
\n" ); document.write( "3x + y less than or equal to 5
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y<=-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the EQUALITY: y=-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "You need two points:
\n" ); document.write( "If x=0, y=5, giving you point (0,5)
\n" ); document.write( "If x=1, y=2, giving you point (1,2)
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and draw a line thru them.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the INEQUALITY: y<-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "Pick a test point on either side of the line you graphed
\n" ); document.write( "to see if the side the point is on is the graph of the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "Pick (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute that into y<-3x+5
\n" ); document.write( "You get 0<0+5
\n" ); document.write( "That is true; so the side of the EQUALITY line that contains
\n" ); document.write( "(0,0) is the graph of the INEQUALITY.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-3x%2B5%29\"
