\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start with the given system of inequalities\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B3y%3E6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In order to graph this system of inequalities, we need to graph each inequality one at a time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So lets graph the first inequality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " In order to graph \"2x%2B3y%3E6\" we need to graph the equation \"2x%2B3y=6\" (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign). So lets graph the line \"2x%2B3y=6\" (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"graph%28+400%2C+300%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C%286-2%2Ax%29%2F3%29\" graph of \"2x%2B3y=6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0) (any point will work, but this point is the easiest to work with), and evaluate the inequality \"2x%2B3y%3E6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"2%280%29%2B3%280%29%3E6\" Plug in x=0, y=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"0%3E6\" Simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this inequality is not true, we shade the entire region that doesn't contain (0,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Here is the graph of \"2x%2B3y%3E6\" with the graph of the line(\"2x%2B3y=6\") in red and the shaded region in green\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(note: The red line should be a dashed line since it is not included in the region. Since the inequalityis a > sign, it tells us not to include the boundaries.)\r
