Algebra Examples

$y < | 3 x | + 1$

Step 1

Remove non-negative terms from the absolute value.

$y < 3 | x | + 1$

Step 2

The equation is not linear, so a constant slope does not exist.

Not Linear

Step 3

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

$y < 3 | x | + 1$
