Step-by-step explanation:

Given is function linear in x

[tex]y=2x+13[/tex]

We have to find when this has a positive value and when negative value

The value which separates positive and negative is 0

First let us equate [tex]y=0\\2x+13=0\\x=-6.5[/tex]

Thus this value separates y from positive to negative

[tex]y>0\\2x+13>0\\x>-6.5[/tex]

Hence takes positive values for all x >-6.5 other wise negative values

At 6.5 it is 0.

For negative values of y = 2x + 13,  x < -6.5

For positive values of y = 2x + 13,  x  >  -6.5

The given equation is:

y  =  2x  +  13

For positive values of y, 2x  +  13  >  0:

2x  +  13   >  0

2x   >  -13

x    >  -13/2

x   >  -6.5

For negative values of y, 2x + 13  <  0:

2x  +  13   <  0

2x   <  -13

x    <  -13/2

x    <  -6.5

Therefore:

For negative values of y = 2x + 13,  x < -6.5

For positive values of y = 2x + 13,  x  >  -6.5
