How do I graph this problem??? HELP!!!
P = x-4y
3x - y < or equal to 7
2x - y > or equal to 3
y > or equal to x - 3
To graph this problem, we will start by graphing the equations and inequalities one by one.
1. Graph the equation P = x - 4y. To do this, we can rearrange the equation to solve for y:
y = (x - P)/4
Now, we can choose some values for x and calculate the corresponding values for y to plot the points on the graph. For example, let's choose x = 0:
y = (0 - P)/4
y = -P/4
The point (0, -P/4) is on the graph. Let's choose a few more values for x to find more points.
x = 4:
y = (4 - P)/4
y = (4 - P)/4
The point (4, (4 - P)/4) is on the graph.
Repeat this process for a few more values of x, and plot each point on the graph. Once you have enough points, connect them with a straight line to get the graph of the equation P = x - 4y.
2. Next, let's graph the inequality 3x - y ≤ 7. To do this, we need to convert the inequality into an equation and graph it as a boundary line. Replace the inequality sign ≤ with an equal sign:
3x - y = 7
Rearrange the equation to solve for y:
y = 3x - 7
Now, follow the same steps as above to plot points on the graph using different values of x. Connect the points with a straight line, but this time, draw a dashed line instead of a solid line because the inequality does not include "or equal to."
3. Next, let's graph the inequality 2x - y ≥ 3. Again, convert the inequality into an equation:
2x - y = 3
Rearrange the equation to solve for y:
y = 2x - 3
Plot points on the graph using different values of x, and connect them with a straight line. This time, draw a solid line because the inequality includes "or equal to."
4. Finally, let's graph the inequality y ≥ x - 3. Convert it into an equation:
y = x - 3
Plot points on the graph using different values of x, and connect them with a straight line. Draw a solid line because the inequality includes "or equal to."
Now, you should have three lines on the graph representing the equations and inequalities. The shaded region that satisfies all the conditions is the solution to the problem.
