graph the equation 4x+y >_ 4
:
4x + y >= 4
:
y >= -4x + 4
:
Choose some values for x and find y
An example x = -2:
y = -4(-2) + 4
y = + 8 + 4
y = 12
;
Plot the graph using following values:
x|y
-----
-2|12
0| 4
+3| -8
:
It should look like this:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-16%2C+16%2C+-4x+%2B+4%29+
:
Remember we had y >= -4x +4, which means the area of interest is at or above
the line on the graph
