The graph of the inequality is the shaded region and boundary of the inequality is
. To graph the boundary, find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line.
First find the y-intercept.
\The y-intercept is the value of y, when x = 0.
\ (Substitute x = 0 in original equation)
(Apply zero product property:
)
Apply addition property of equality: If a = b than a + c = b + c.
\ (Add 10 to each side)
(Apply Additive inverse property: –10 + 10 = 0)
Apply division property of equality: If a = b than .
(Divide each side by negative 5)
(Cancel common terms)
The y-intercept is – 2, so the graph intersects the y-axis at (0, – 2).
Next find the x-intercept.
\The x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0.
\ (Substitute y = 0 in original equation)
(Apply zero product property:
)
Apply addition property of equality: If a = b than a + c = b + c.
\ (Add 10 to each side)
(Apply Additive inverse property: –10 + 10 = 0)
Apply division property of equality: If a = b than .
(Divide each side by 4)
(Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
The x-intercept is 2.5 , so the graph intersects the x-axis at (2.5, 0).
To draw inequality follow the steps.
1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the points.
\3. Since inequality symbol is
, the boundary is included in the solution set. Graph the boundary of the inequality
with a solid line.
4. To determine which half-plane to be shaded use a test point in either half-plane. A simple choice is (0, 0).
\Substitute and y = 0 in original inequality .
The statement is true.
\5. Since the statement is true, shade the region that contains point (0, 0).
