Question

What is the ordered pair solution for y>= 1/3x+4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y > (1/3)x + 4 has an infinite number of solutions.  Draw a dashed line representing y = (1/3)x + 4 and then pick points at random on either side of this line.  For example, pick (1, 6).  Substitute 1 for x in y > (1/3)x + 4 and 6 for y.  Is the resulting inequality true?  Is 6 > (1/3)(1) + 4 true?  YES.  So we know that (1, 6) is a solution of y > (1/3)x + 4.  Because (1, 6) lies ABOVE the line y = (1/3)x + 4, we can conclude that all points abovve this line are solutions.
