Graph the inequality.
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y > 6
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You may be having trouble if you are trying to
\n" ); document.write( "graph the INequality. What you need to do
\n" ); document.write( "is graph the EQUALity and then decide where
\n" ); document.write( "the INequality would lie.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "So, graph 2x+3y=6 as a dashed or dotted line.
\n" ); document.write( "You need two points:
\n" ); document.write( "If x=0, y=2, giving you point (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( "If y=0, x=3, giving you point (3,0)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and draw a dashed or dotted line through them.
\n" ); document.write( "That is the \"boundary\" of the INequality.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cy=-%282%2F3%29x%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have to figure out on which side of the boundary your INequality
\n" ); document.write( "lies.
\n" ); document.write( "So pick a test point: for example (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Test it in your INequality statement:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y > 6
\n" ); document.write( "2(0) + 3(0) >6
\n" ); document.write( "0>6
\n" ); document.write( "This is not true; so the side of the dashed line that
\n" ); document.write( "contains (0,0) is not the side you want.
\n" ); document.write( "Shade the other side of the dashed line.
\n" ); document.write( "THAT IS THE GRAPH OF THE INEQUALITY.
