Question 120284: Graph the inequality y<-3x+2
(side note) if you can give me at least 3 points and explain how you got them I would really appreciate it

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find 3 values for x and the corresponding value for y that
solve the equality +y+=+-3x%2B2+, then find a value of y that
is less than what you got.
Say I start with x+=+0
y+=+-3%2A0+%2B+2
y+=+2
Now any y less than 2 will work, say
{0,1.5)
-----
Now pick another value of x, say x+=+-1
y+=+-3%2A%28-1%29+%2B+2
y+=+5 Now any value less than 5 will work for y, say
(-1,4)
---------
Pick another x, say x+=+17
y+=+-3%2A17+%2B+2
y+=+-51+%2B+2
y+=+-49 Now any y less than -49 will work, say -50
(17,-50) is the point
------------
Let's check this last one
+y%3C-3x%2B2+
-50+%3C+-3%2A17+%2B+2
-50+%3C+-51+%2B+2
-50+%3C+-49
This is true, so the method works
