How do you solve the system of inequalities #y< 3x - 5# and #y > - 4x - 7#?

See shaded region of the graph

Explanation:

When you graph an inequality, first use graphing of line techniques by putting the equations in #y = mx + b# form, where #m = "slope "= (Delta x)/(Delta y) " and the " y"-intercept is " (0, b)#

Place a point at the #y#-intercept #(0, b)# and use the slope to find at least one other point.

Since both equations do not have an #=# sign, dash the lines instead of making them solid.

Shade the region that is the intersection of the two signs:

above and to the right of #y = 4x - 7# and below and to the right of #y = 3x -5#:
