Beginning Algebra With Applications, Chapter 5, 5.6, Section 5.6, Problem 14

Illustrate the solution set 3x+y6


3x+y6Solve the inequality for yy3x+6Subtract 3x from each side

To graph the inequality, we first find the intercepts of the line y=3x+6.
In this case, the x-intercept (set y=0) is (2,0)


0=3x+63x=6x=2


And the y-intercept (set x=0) is (0,6)

y=3(0)+6y=6

So the graph is


Graph is y=3x+6 as a solid line. Shade the upper half of the plane.
