You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7x+9y>=65 is the equation
graph%28300%2C300%2C-2%2C10%2C-10%2C70%2C%28-7x%2F9%29%2B%2865%2F9%29%29
To see which side of the line is the solution set, put in the coordinates for the origin to see. When both x and y are 0, the equation doesn't work, so it is above the line in the first quadrant.
