    sketch graph given two equations
    Sketch the graph of the solution set of each system of inequalities.

    1) 2x-5y<-6
    rearrange to





    2) 3x+y<8

    rearrange to



    1. draw the two lines indicated by the equations. Slope/Intercept is appropriate since the equations are in that form.

    2. Note that the "<" or ">" implies that the inequalities do not include the lines. Figure out which side of the line is included in the inequality (pick a point, plug it into the equation and see if it fits).

    3) The intersection of the two areas is the graph required.
