Full solution

Q. Graph the solutions to the inequality 7x3y217x-3y \geq 21
  1. Rewrite Inequality: First, let's rewrite the inequality in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b. We'll start by isolating yy on one side. So, we add 3y3y to both sides and subtract 2121 from both sides to get 3y7x213y \leq 7x - 21.
  2. Isolate yy: Next, divide everything by 33 to solve for yy. This gives us y73x7y \leq \frac{7}{3}x - 7.
  3. Graph Line: Now we can graph the line y=73x7y = \frac{7}{3}x - 7. This line will be solid because the inequality includes equal to (\geq).
  4. Shade Below Line: After drawing the line, we need to figure out which side of the line to shade. Since the inequality is y73x7y \leq \frac{7}{3}x - 7, we shade below the line.
  5. Correct Mistake: Oops, I made a mistake in the second step. I should have divided 2121 by 33 as well. The correct equation should be y(73)x7y \leq \left(\frac{7}{3}\right)x - 7, not y(73)x21y \leq \left(\frac{7}{3}\right)x - 21. Gotta fix that.
