Work Step by Step

$x^2 – y^2/9 \le 1$ We pick the points $(-2,0)$, $(0,0)$, and $(2,0)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $(-2,0)$ $x^2 – y^2/9 \le 1$ $(-2)^2 – 0^2/9 \le 1$ $4- 0/9 \le 1$ $4 -0 \le 1$ $4 \le 1$ (false) $(0,0)$ $x^2 – y^2/9 \le 1$ $0^2 – 0^2/9 \le 1$ $0 – 0/9 \le 1$ $0 -0 \le 1$ $0 \le 1$ (true, so we shade the side of the line with this point) $(2,0)$ $x^2 – y^2/9 \le 1$ $(2)^2 – 0^2/9 \le 1$ $4- 0/9 \le 1$ $4 -0 \le 1$ $4 \le 1$ (false)
