\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note that the solid boundary line goes right one and up one, so the slope is +1. And it intercepts the y-axis at (0,-3). That gives us an equation, in slope-intercept form, of:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next is to determine which of the four inequality symbols is appropriate. Since this is a solid line, the desired inequality is inclusive of equals, so you must use either or -- but which one?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the point (0,0) is located in the shaded half-plane with the equation we derived as a boundary, then substituting 0 for and 0 for should create a true statement if you have used the inequality symbol of the correct sense. So which is correct?\r
