-3n < 81...divide both sides by -3, change the inequality sign
n > -81/3
n > - 27 <==
** in an inequality, when dividing/multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign changes
        
             
        
        
        
Solve the equation for y using the formula for slope: y + mx + b
2x^2 + 5y^2 = 14
5y^2 = -2x^2 + 14
y^2 = -2/5x^2 + 14/5
y = the sq root of -2x^2/5 + 14/5
There is no integer solution to the square root of a negative number.
