Graph the first-degree inequality in two unknowns. Pick the correct graph. $7 x \leq 9 y$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To graph the inequality $7x \leq 9y$, we can rewrite it as $y \geq \frac{7}{9}x$. This tells us that the boundary line for the inequality is the line $y = \frac{7}{9}x$. We can then test a point on either side of the line to determine which side is the solution set. For example, the point $(0,0)$ is below the line and does not satisfy the inequality, so the solution set is above the line. The correct graph is therefore the shaded region above the line $y = \frac{7}{9}x$, which is depicted in choice B.
