How do I solve and graph this?
1 answer:
3x -y ⩾ 6
3x - 6 ⩾ y
now, with inequalities, what we do is, we graph the line of 3x - 6 = y, and then we shade the "true region".
if we pick a point on say hmmm (4, 0), namely x = 4 and y = 0, we can plug that in the inequality and see what we get,
3(4) - 0 ⩾ 6
12 - 0 ⩾ 6
12 ⩾ 6
is 12 really greater or equals to 6? well yes, therefore, the point (4, 0) lies on the "true region", since it's true, 12 is indeed ⩾ 6, so, where that point is, we shade.
now, the ⩾ means equals to or greater, and therefore, since the values could also equal the boundary points, the line is a solid line, because it includes the line itself, as well as the shading.
check the picture below.

If this exact question is repeatedly deleted, it's probably because of the ambiguity of the given equation. I see two likely interpretations, for instance:
or
If the first one is what you intended, then
and it follows that
2<em>k</em> + 8 = 3 ==> 2<em>k</em> = -5 ==> <em>k</em> = -5/2
If you meant the second one, then
which would give
<em>k</em> + 9 = 3 ==> <em>k</em> = -6
And for all I know, you might have meant some other alternative... When you can, you should include a picture of your problem.
