Please help me solve this equation: y > 6x-3 thats the first line i have to graph the other one is y < x+2
Those are not called "equations", they are called "inequalities". To be
call "an equation", a math statement must contain the symbol " = ". If
it contains " < ", " > ", " ≦ ", or " ≧ ", it's called an INEQUALITY.
(If it contains none of these it is called an "expression".
In problems that are not already solved for y, solve them for y first.
However both these problems are already solved for y.
To graph y > 6x-3, first graph the boundary line whose equation is
y = 6x-3, but draw it dotted because the inequality symbol is " > "
and not " ≧ "
and since it's "greater than", we shade the region above the dotted line:
To graph y < x+2, first graph the boundary line whose equation is
y = x+2, but draw it dotted because the inequality symbol is " < "
and not " ≦ ".
and since it's "less than", we shade the region below the dotted line:
