Graph each of the following inequalities. 3x-4y<12
--------------------
You need to graph the boundary of the inequality which is the corresponding EQUALTIY 3x-4y=12
-----------
Change to slope-intercept form as follows:
y = (3/4)x-3
-------
Plot two points:
If x=0, y=-3 giving you point (0,-3)
If x=4, y=0 giving you point (4,0)
--------------
Plot and draw a dashed line thru the two points:
graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F4%29x-3%29
--------------------
That is the boundary of the solution set for the inequality y>(3/4)x-3:
The solution for the inequality is the half-plane above the boundary line
because you are looking for y-values that are GREATER THAN the y-values
on the boundary.
