Homework Statement

Use a sketch graph to show the region defined by y<2 and y>x

The Attempt at a Solution

y<2 is easy as its anything below y=2...

but I am totally stuck on y>x.. How can I know what y is if i don't know what x is??

thanks for any help

Hint -- plot the line y=x...

 

[evosy1978]

oh man of course it is... because its a linear eqaution right?

so if it were y>x-2

you would plot y=x-2

and the same as y>x

you would ploy y=x

so that's diagonal 1234567 etc...

thanks
