Answer:

Explanation:

The boundary lines are graphed in the usual way. If "or equal to" is not included in the inequality symbol, the line is graphed as a dashed line.

The relationship between the inequality symbol and a variable with a positive coefficient tells you where the shading is.

x > ( ) . . . . shading is to the right of the (dashed) boundary line, where x-values are larger than those on the boundary

y ≥ ( ) . . . . shading is above the (solid) boundary line, where y-values are larger than those on the boundary

y < ( ) . . . . shading is below the (dashed) boundary line, where y-values are less than those on the boundary

__

x = 4

This (dashed) boundary line is a vertical line where x=4.

y ≥ -3x +4

This (solid) boundary line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 4. Starting at the y-intercept (0, 4), you can go left 1 and up 3 to (-1, 7) for another point on the line.

y < 3x -3

This (dashed) boundary line has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -3. Starting at the y-intercept (0, -3), you can go right 1 and up 3 to (1, 0) for another point on the line.

solution

The solution space is the triple-shaded space to the right of x=4 in the right quadrant of the X where the other lines cross. It has a dashed upper boundary, and a solid lower boundary.

A graphing calculator can be a convenient aid to drawing the graph.
