Sketch the graph of each linear inequality
greater sign has to have a line underneath it
Y<-6/5x-1

Answer (2)

Firstly treat this a s an equation and do not worry about the < but pretend it is an = Your scale is from -6 to 6 so using this you sub each x value into the equation to find the y value, e.g. -6) sub in equation -6/(5 x -6) - 1 = y y = -0.8 so you can plot this point (-6,-0.8)
Then repeat this all the way up to 6 and plot the points on the graph then draw a line

To graph the inequality y ≤ − 5 6 ​ x − 1 , first rewrite it as the equation y = − 5 6 ​ x − 1 . Then, plot points based on this line, draw a solid line, and shade below the line for the area that satisfies the inequality. Make sure to label the axes for clarity.
