How do you graph the inequality #5x-2y>=10#?

Answer 1

Draw the straight line though #(0, -5) and (2, 0)#. Shade the region below this line, in the negative y-direction. Enter therein #5x-2y>10#.

Rearranging, #y<2.5 x-5#.

For any point (x, y) beneath this straight line that passes through (0, -5) and (2, 0), #y<2.5 x -5#, and accordingly, #5x-2y>10#

To graph the inequality (5x - 2y \geq 10), follow these steps:

Begin by graphing the line (5x - 2y = 10), which is the boundary line for the inequality. To do this, rearrange the equation to solve for (y): [5x - 10 \geq 2y] [y \leq \frac{5x - 10}{2}]
Plot the line on a coordinate plane using its x-intercept and y-intercept or by finding two points that lie on the line.
Since the inequality is (\geq), shade the region below the line (including the line itself) to represent all the points that satisfy the inequality.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
