Graph y>=-1/2x+2 1/2 y<1/5x+6

$y \geq - \frac{1}{2} x + 2 \frac{1}{2}$ $y < \frac{1}{5} x + 6$

Step 1

Graph $y < \frac{1}{5} x + 6$ .

Find the slope and the y-intercept for the boundary line.

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

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

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{1}{5}$ and $x$ .

$y < \frac{x}{5} + 6$

Reorder terms.

$y < \frac{1}{5} x + 6$

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

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

$m = \frac{1}{5}$

$b = 6$

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

Slope: $\frac{1}{5}$

y-intercept: $(0, 6)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{5}$

y-intercept: $(0, 6)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{5}$

y-intercept: $(0, 6)$

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $\frac{1}{5} x + 6$ .

$y < \frac{1}{5} x + 6$

Step 2

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$y \geq - \frac{1}{2} x + 2 \frac{1}{2}$

$y < \frac{1}{5} x + 6$
