Question 703842: Would you please help me to solve this:
Graph the inequality, indicating the solution set with crosshatching or shading. Explain how you determined where to draw the line and shade the area that represents the solution set.
x + 3y ≤ 6
Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph the line x+3y = 6

Make this a solid line.

Then shade below the solid line to graph x + 3y ≤ 6. The reason you shade below is that we have a "less than or equal to" symbol (and the y coefficient is positive).
