1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,680 2 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,960 We're asked to represent the inequality y is greater than 5 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,790 on a number line and on the coordinate plane. 4 00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:09,300 Let's do the number line first. 5 00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:11,970 Let me just draw out a number line. 6 00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,420 That's my number line, all the possible values of y. 7 00:00:15,419 --> 00:00:17,559 Let's make that 0 on the number line. 8 00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:21,000 We could obviously go into negative numbers, but we're 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,750 going to be greater than 5, so I'll focus on 10 00:00:22,750 --> 00:00:23,620 the positive side. 11 00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:31,940 So let's say that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then 6, 7, so 12 00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,000 forth and so on. 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,350 This number line represents y, and y is going to be greater 14 00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:40,160 than 5, not greater than or equal to. 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,789 So we're not going to be including 5 in the numbers 16 00:00:44,789 --> 00:00:46,240 that can be y. 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,789 So we're not going to include 5, so we're going to do an 18 00:00:48,789 --> 00:00:52,530 open circle around 5, and all of the other values greater 19 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,469 than 5 will be included. 20 00:00:55,469 --> 00:00:58,990 So if there was a greater than or equal to sign, we would 21 00:00:58,990 --> 00:01:00,830 have filled it in, but since it's just greater than, we're 22 00:01:00,829 --> 00:01:02,329 not including the 5. 23 00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:04,359 So we've represented it on the number line. 24 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:06,900 Let's do the same thing on the coordinate plane. 25 00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,010 Let me draw a coordinate plane here. 26 00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:11,620 I'm just using the standard convention. 27 00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:14,760 That is my y-axis right there. 28 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,540 And then the horizontal axis, I'll just assume is my x-axis. 29 00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:21,700 30 00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,740 Let me draw some y values, positive y values. 31 00:01:24,739 --> 00:01:27,959 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,909 That is 5 right there, and you go 6, 7, you can just keep 33 00:01:30,909 --> 00:01:33,179 going into larger and larger numbers. 34 00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:36,250 And we want y to be greater than 5, so it's not going to 35 00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:37,769 be greater than or equal to. 36 00:01:37,769 --> 00:01:39,920 So we're not going to include 5. 37 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,170 So at 5, at y is equal to 5, we will draw a dotted line. 38 00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:51,310 That shows that we're not including y is equal to 5, but 39 00:01:51,310 --> 00:01:54,750 we want include all of the other values greater than 5. 40 00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:56,579 So that we will shade in. 41 00:01:56,579 --> 00:02:02,539 So here we have shaded in all of the values greater than 5. 42 00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:05,070 If it was greater than or equal to 5, we would have 43 00:02:05,069 --> 00:02:07,589 drawn a bold line over here. 44 00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:11,610 So no matter what x is, no matter what x we pick, y is 45 00:02:11,610 --> 00:02:14,310 going to be greater than 5. 46 00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:14,466
