Question 24951: how would you graph -2(x+y) less than or equal to 6 and (plot the points)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-2%28x%2By%29%3C=6
You need to put this in slope intercept-form;
y%3C=x%2Bb
-2x-2y%3C=6
-2y%3C=2x%2B6
y%3E=-x-3
The y-intercept is -3 and the slope is -1%2F1
So plot the point -3 on the y-axis, and the with the slope of -%281%2F1%29
plot the next point, and since the inequality is greater than and equal to, your line will be solid and shade the area above the line.
graph+%28300%2C300%2C+-3%2C3%2C-4%2C3%2C+-x-3%29
Hope you understand
