Answer:

You may well ask, Why direct action? Why sit‐ins, marches, etc.? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are

exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action

seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused

to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored.

I just referred to the creation of tension as a part of the work of the nonviolent resister. This may sound rather

shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly worked and preached

against violent tension, but there is a type of constructivei nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth.

Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the

bondageii of myths and half‐truths to the unfetterediii realm of creative analysis and objective appraisaliv, we

must see the need of having nonviolent gadfliesv to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise

from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. So

the purpose of the direct action is to create a situation so crisis‐packed that it will inevitably open the door to

negotiation. We, therefore, concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland

been bogged down in the tragic attempt to live in monologue rather than dialogue…

We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to

make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of

brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.

The table shows the outputs y for different inputs x:

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)
