I need help with this problem:
-3(5x-y)>0
-15x+3y>0
3y>15x
y>5x
--------------
Graph the border line which separates y>5x from y<5x
Graph y=5x as follows:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C5x%29
The half-plane above the border is the graph you want;
shade in that half-plane.
COMMENT: The positive y-axis, for example, is in the half
plane that is above the border. You can check if you have
the proper side by taking a "test point" such as (0,10)
Find the point. If it satisfies y>5x that point and that
entire side is the side you want.
