Question

Graph the solution set for this inequality: 4x - 2y > 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x-intercept: 2 y-intercept= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the given equation 4x-2y>8 to slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. We do this by solving for y.

4x-2y>8. Subtract 4x from each side

-2y> -4x+8. Divide by -2. Don't forget to switch the sign!

y< 2x-4  is our equation in slope-intercept form.

Now, we can graph it. We know the slope (m)= 2 and the y-intercept= -4. Start at -4 and move up two, over one, making points until you can form a line. We can see from the graph that when x=0, (0, -4) y= -4. When y=0, (2, 0), x=2. These are our intercepts of the graph!

Hope this helps!
