Graph 6x-y<12

$6 x - y < 12$

Step 1

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Solve for $y$ .

Subtract $6 x$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- y < 12 - 6 x$

Divide each term in $- y < 12 - 6 x$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- y < 12 - 6 x$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- y}{- 1} > \frac{12}{- 1} + \frac{- 6 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} > \frac{12}{- 1} + \frac{- 6 x}{- 1}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y > \frac{12}{- 1} + \frac{- 6 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $12$ by $- 1$ .

$y > - 12 + \frac{- 6 x}{- 1}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{- 6 x}{- 1}$ .

$y > - 12 - 1 \cdot (- 6 x)$

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot (- 6 x)$ as $- (- 6 x)$ .

$y > - 12 - (- 6 x)$

Multiply $- 6$ by $- 1$ .

$y > - 12 + 6 x$

Rearrange terms.

$y > 6 x - 12$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = 6$

$b = - 12$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $6$

y-intercept: $(0, - 12)$

Slope: $6$

y-intercept: $(0, - 12)$

Step 3

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area above the boundary line since $y$ is greater than $6 x - 12$ .

$y > 6 x - 12$
