Graph y<=-7/8x-6 x<-8

$y \leq - \frac{7}{8} x - 6$ $x < - 8$

Step 1

Graph $y \leq - \frac{7}{8} x - 6$ .

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.

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{7}{8}$ .

$y \leq - \frac{x \cdot 7}{8} - 6$

Move $7$ to the left of $x$ .

$y \leq - \frac{7 x}{8} - 6$

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

Reorder terms.

$y \leq - (\frac{7}{8} x) - 6$

Remove parentheses.

$y \leq - \frac{7}{8} x - 6$

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

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

$m = - \frac{7}{8}$

$b = - 6$

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

Slope: $- \frac{7}{8}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 6)$

Slope: $- \frac{7}{8}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 6)$

Slope: $- \frac{7}{8}$

y-intercept: $(0, - 6)$

Graph a solid line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $- \frac{7}{8} x - 6$ .

$y \leq - \frac{7}{8} x - 6$

Step 2

Graph $x < - 8$ .

$x < - 8$

Step 3

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$y \leq - \frac{7}{8} x - 6$

$x < - 8$
