Graphing Linear Inequalities

learning_notes

Last updated: 8/16/2025

Concepts Covered:

  • Graphing Boundary Lines – Convert inequalities to equations, plot the line, and determine whether it should be solid (≤ or ≥) or dashed (< or >).
  • Shading the Correct Region – Use test points to determine which side of the line should be shaded.
  • Checking Solutions – Substitute points to verify whether they satisfy the inequality.

Skills Covered:

  • Convert inequalities into slope-intercept form.
  • Graph inequalities with correct line types and shading.
  • Check if a point is in the solution region.

Example Problems:

  • Graph the inequality (y \leq 2x + 3) and shade the correct solution region.
  • Which of the following points ((2,3)), ((−1,5)), ((4,0)) satisfy the inequality (y > -x + 4)?
