How do you graph #y<=x/2#?

Answer 1

#y<= x/2# in the graph.

Assign two points on the line and temporarily substitute #=# for #<=#.

Point = #(0,0)# if #x=0# and #y=0/2=0#

Point = #(2,1)# if #x=2# and #y=2/2=1#.

Plot the points, then draw a solid line through each one to show that it is a part of the graph. Next, shade in the area that is below the line.

graph{y<=x/2 [-5, 5, 10, 10]}

To graph y ≤ x/2, you would plot the line y = x/2 (which has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the origin), and then shade the region below the line, including the line itself. This shaded region represents all the points where y is less than or equal to x/2.

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.
