Question 46826: this problem is from the beginning algebra book
I need help to graph this linear equation I have tried it own my own but can't seem to solve can you help me.
3x-4y<12

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Rearrange so you have just one y on the left hand side:
3x-4y<12
-3x+4y<-12
4y<3x-12
y<0.75x-3
Now the inequality is satisfied at any point below the line y=0.75x-3.
I have drawn the graoh below but I will leave you to shade the area below the line.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+0.75x-3%29+
I hope this helps,
Adam
