Algebra.Com's Answer #566031 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First graph the line \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Here the slope is \n" ); document.write( "So one point is (0,-8). \n" ); document.write( "Since the slope is 1, change in y over change in x is one. \n" ); document.write( "So to get another point add (1,1) to the intercept. \n" ); document.write( "(0,-8)+(1,1)=(1,-7) \n" ); document.write( "Now that you have two points, you can plot the line. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "OK, so now pick a point not on the line. (0,0) is convenient. \n" ); document.write( "Test the inequality. \n" ); document.write( "If the inequality is true, shade the region containing (0,0). \n" ); document.write( "If the inequality is false, shade the region that doesn't contain (0,0). \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "False, so shade the region not containing (0,0). \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
