Write the following equation in Slope-intercept form: 8x - 2y = 6
....
2y=8x-6
y=4x-3
and
Graph the following and then answer the questions given below: 2x-3y >(greater than or equal to sign)6

/3

y<=(2/3)x-2

a) Describe the method you used to graph this inequality.
First draw the boundary of the inequality
y=(2/3)x-2

x=0 , y=-3 (0,-2)
y=0,x=3 (3,0)

The inequality
--------------

b) Where does the line cross the x-axis?
(3,0)
c) Where does the line cross the y-axis?
(0,-2)
d) Is the origin on the right side or the left side of the line?
Left side
e) Is the line solid or dashed?
solid
f) Which side of the line is shaded (left side or right side)?
Since y is less than something , right side is shaded
g) How did you determine which side of the line to shade?
Since y is less than something , right side is shaded
