Graph y<-x-1 y<1/3x+3

$y < - x - 1$ $y < \frac{1}{3} x + 3$

Step 1

Graph $y < - x - 1$ .

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 $y = m x + b$ .

$m = - 1$

$b = - 1$

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

Slope: $- 1$

y-intercept: $(0, - 1)$

Slope: $- 1$

y-intercept: $(0, - 1)$

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $- x - 1$ .

$y < - x - 1$

Step 2

Graph $y < \frac{1}{3} x + 3$ .

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 $x$ .

$y < \frac{x}{3} + 3$

Reorder terms.

$y < \frac{1}{3} x + 3$

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

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

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

$b = 3$

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: $(0, 3)$

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

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

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

y-intercept: $(0, 3)$

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $\frac{1}{3} x + 3$ .

$y < \frac{1}{3} x + 3$

Step 3

Plot each graph on the same coordinate system.

$y < - x - 1$

$y < \frac{1}{3} x + 3$
