You can put this solution on YOUR website!
how do you graph y<-5/4x+1/4.
:
you can write the equation in decimals
y <= -1.25x + .25
:
Choose 3 values for x and find y:
x = -3
y = -1.25(-3) + .25
y = +3.75 + .25
y = + 4
:
x = 0
y = -1.25(0) + .25
y = +.25
:
x = 5
y = -1.25(5) + .25
y = - 6.25 + .25
y = +6
:
If put these in a table it would look like this:
x | y
-------
-3 |+4
0 |+.25
+5 |-6
:
Plot these points and your graph should look like this:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+6%2C+-1.25x+%2B+.25%29+
:
Remember you had an inequality sign of <=, so the area of feasibility will be
at or below the line on the graph
:
Do you understand on how to graph now?
