Question

How do you graph the solution set of #2x + y < 603 on a number line?

Answer 1

Isolate the variable, graph and shade below the dotted line.

Explanation:

First, isolate the `y` variable.

`2x+y<603`
`y<-2x+603`

Next, graph the equation by placing the y intercept as `603` and creating a slope of `-2`.
graph{-2x+603 [-5, 5, 593, 613]}

Since `y` is less than `2x+603`, shade the area below the line and since it is not less than or equal to, dot the line.
