Question 125588
{{{ graph( 300,300, -7,7,-7,7,y<-2x)}}}

Because the inequality is in y-intercept form (y=mx+b) the b = the y-intercept point. There isn't a b in this inequality so it is 0. The line goes downward because the leading coeficient (-2x) is negative. The slope is -2/1. Rise over run. Go down two and over one to find the next point and you can graph your line. To find weather to shade above the line or below, you pick any point and plug it into the equation or inequality. I will pick a point above the line. (3,4)      
4<-2(3)
4<-6   that point doesn't solve the inequality. So lets pick a point below the line. (-3,-4)
-4<-2(-3)
-4<6  this is correct so we know that the solution region is below the line. Therfore, you shade down.
