Rewrite Inequality: First, let's rewrite the inequality in slope-intercept form y=mx+b. We'll start by isolating y on one side. So, we add 3y to both sides and subtract 21 from both sides to get 3y≤7x−21.
Isolate y: Next, divide everything by 3 to solve for y. This gives us y≤37x−7.
Graph Line: Now we can graph the line y=37x−7. This line will be solid because the inequality includes equal to (≥).
Shade Below Line: After drawing the line, we need to figure out which side of the line to shade. Since the inequality is y≤37x−7, we shade below the line.
Correct Mistake: Oops, I made a mistake in the second step. I should have divided 21 by 3 as well. The correct equation should be y≤(37)x−7, not y≤(37)x−21. Gotta fix that.
