To solve the inequality "y/3 greater than or equal to -5," we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to isolate y:
y/3 ≥ -5
3(y/3) ≥ 3(-5)
y ≥ -15
The solution to the inequality is y ≥ -15, meaning any value of y that is greater than or equal to -15 satisfies the inequality.
To graph this solution, we plot a solid line at y = -15 on the y-axis, and shade the area above the line to indicate that y is greater than -15.
The graph would look like this:
