: I need to know how to graph the inequality 4y+x>-1 I have been trying for about 40 minutes to figure out how to get the x to the other side. I tried subtract x both sides. Then I divided both sides by four. I came up with
y>.25-.25x. I think this is the correct answer so far by I am stumped on what to do with the x. Vicktoria Murphy This question is from textbook Algebra 1 Holt

I need to know how to graph the inequality 4y+x > 1 I have been trying for about 40 minutes to figure out how to get the x to the other side. I tried subtract x both sides. Then I divided both sides by four. I came up with
y>.25-.25x. I think this is the correct answer so far by I am stumped on what to do with the x.
-----------------
4y+x > 1
1st: Solve for "y":
4y > -x + 1
y > (-1/4)x + (1/4)
-------------------------
2nd:
Graph the EQUALITY y = (-1/4)x + (1/4)
graph%28400.300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-1%2F4%29x+%2B+%281%2F4%29%29
----------------
3rd:
Since you want y to greater than the line, shade the half-plane
above the line.
That is the graph of the inequality.
