WHEN GRAPHING
Step 1. Convert to y = mx + b
- Equation 1: y = 3x/2 - 16/2
- Equation 2: y = -5 - 2x
Step 2. Graph like normal
- Find zeros & plot
- Find y-intercept & plot
Step 3. Shade as indicated by the inequality symbol
- > or ≥ = above line
- < or ≤ = below line
Step 4. If ≤ or ≥ ONLY, then also shade the line
FOR THIS PROBLEM
1. Graph each equation
2. Shade ABOVE line for each
3. Shade line first equation as well
Hope this helps and God bless!
