please help-NEEDED:people who are willing to answer a math question that is good...

[izzy1594]

...at math.? ok the inequality is:
y is less than or equal to 2-x

tell me what y is
and what x is

and when graphing i dont know which side to shade.


thanks so much, if someone could explain it, ill choose you for the best answer!

[claudia_princess1609]

you dont have to find what x or y equals.....
what u already have is the equation and just graph it and any thing thats on the correct side can be a point....
hope i helped

Y<2-x

Y simply represents the function.

x is the slope. So the slope of the function is 1.

After drawing the line you want to shade below the line, because the value of Y is LESS than the value of your equation (aka. the line).

pretend that the inequality sign isn't then until the shading needs to be done so y=-x+2
where the y-intercept point is ( 0,2) start graphing at that point with a negative slope of one so the line goes from upper left corner to bottom right corner going down 1 square.
then you test it by using the equation w/ the inequality signs.
use coordinates from both sides of the line that you graphed....
try (0,0) and a point from the other side....
if the coordinates work in the equation so not ( 4is less than or equal to 1 for example)
if it works, shade in that area. and becuz the sign is less than or equal the line you draw for the graph is a solid line instead of dotted.
