How do you graph #y>6x-2#?

Answer 1

The graph should look like this: graph{6x-2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
with the left side colored in.

First, think of #y>6x-2# as #y=6x-2# and graph the slope, which has the #y# -intercept of -2 and the slope of #6/1# (6 up, 1 to the right)

Then, we plug a value in the inequality(let's go for 1)

#y>6(1)-2# or #y>4#

We see that all the y values are greater than 4 when x is equal to 1, when it is located at the left side of the slope.

Therefore, color in the left side of the slope.

To graph the inequality y > 6x - 2, you first graph the line y = 6x - 2. Then, since the inequality is y > 6x - 2, you 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.
