Math Problem Statement
Graph the inequality: y ≥ 7
Solution
The inequality given is:
To graph this inequality:
1. Draw the boundary line
The boundary line is . Since the inequality is , the line will be solid, not dotted, because points on the line satisfy the inequality.
- The line is a horizontal line that crosses the -axis at .
2. Shade the correct region
The inequality means that we include all the points where is greater than or equal to 7. This is the region above the line .
Steps to Complete the Graph:
- Plot a horizontal solid line at .
- Shade the region above the line.
