Graph y>=1/3x-4

$y \geq \frac{1}{3} x - 4$

Step 1

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 $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x$ .

$y \geq \frac{x}{3} - 4$

Reorder terms.

$y \geq \frac{1}{3} x - 4$

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

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

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

$b = - 4$

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

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 4)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 4)$

Slope: $\frac{1}{3}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 4)$

Step 2

Graph a solid line, then shade the area above the boundary line since $y$ is greater than $\frac{1}{3} x - 4$ .

$y \geq \frac{1}{3} x - 4$
