1 answer:

3 0

Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797) was a Nigerian writer and the first person to publish his memoirs as a testimony of his life as a slave, after being kidnapped from his home in Nigeria when he was 11 years old. He was able to receive a proper education, and when he could obtain his freedom he intensively participated in abolitionist movements. Moreover, he made his most personal contribution by writing his memoirs containing all that he lived and witnessed.

After a trip across the Ocean he arrived to colonial Virginia. His first owner was Michael Pascal, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who acquired Equiano in 1754. They travelled to England, where Equiano served as a valet during the Seven Years' War against France. Equiano also learnt about sailing in the sea, and assisted the crew during battles, apart from perfoming his main task that consisted on bringing gunpowder to the gun decks.

After these war times he was sent by Pascal to England where he attended a school, learnt to read and write, and converted to Christianism.

Explanation:

Graphing Linear Inequalities

This is a graph of a linear inequality:

linear inequality y <= x +2

The inequality y ≤ x + 2

You can see the y = x + 2 line, and the shaded area is where y is less than or equal to x + 2

Linear Inequality

A Linear Inequality is like a Linear Equation (such as y = 2x+1) ...

... but it will have an Inequality like <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of an =.

How to Graph a Linear Inequality

First, graph the "equals" line, then shade in the correct area.

There are three steps:

Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.

Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)

Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥)

or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).

Let us try some examples:

Example: y≤2x-1

1. The inequality already has "y" on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange

2. Plot y=2x-1 (as a solid line because y≤ includes equal to)
