Question 791283: 6x is greater than or equal to negative one third y.
i havent a clue on how to graph or solve this equation.
i think you flip the sign because you divide by a negative but im not exactly sure?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can't "solve" it but you can graph it and get a picture of the solution set.
Step 1: Choose either inequality. Change the relationship symbol to "=". Graph the resulting line. If the original relationship symbol was  or  , do it with a dashed or broken line. If your symbol was  or  , graph the equation with a solid line.
Step 2: Pick any point on the coordinate plane that does not lie on the line you just graphed. If the line does not pass through the origin, ) then the origin is an excellent choice for this step. If the line does pass through the origin, select a point other than the origin -- I recommend a point that has small integer coordinates. This one actually does go through the origin, so you need a different test point. (1,1) should do nicely.
Step 3: Substitute the values of the coordinates of the point chosen in Step 2 for the corresponding variables in the inequality you started with in Step 1.
Step 4: Do the appropriate arithmetic to determine whether the substitution created a true statement or not. If you created a true statement, shade in the side of the line containing the point selected in Step 2. If you created a false statement, shade in the side of the line that does not contain the selected point.
