How do you graph #y>2x+7#?

Answer 1

See explanation

Plot the line #y=2x+y# but use a dotted line signifying that #y# may not actually tale on the value of #2x+7#
Colour (English spelling) or shade the area above the graph. This is standard practice indicating that it represents all the possible value of #y# for any one given value of #x# that are greater than #2x+7# for that #x# value.

Put a title on the graph and label your axis. #color(red)(larr" Important")#
To determine the y-intercept set #x# as 0 using #y=2x+7#

#y=+7" at "x=0->(x,y)=(0,7)#

To graph the inequality (y > 2x + 7), you would first graph the line (y = 2x + 7) as if it were (y = 2x + 7). Then, since the inequality is (y > 2x + 7), you would shade the region above the line.

Answer from HIX Tutor

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.
