The arrow points the same way the inequality does You need to switch everything around! Mirror Image Everything! Whatever the inequality is pointing to, it needs to stay pointing to 3 > x = x < 3
x needs to be on the left to graph Graph the inequality. REMEMBER! 1. 3. 5. 2. 4. 6. x needs to be on the left to graph
PLUG IN the values to see if they make the inequality true Solution of an inequality: The solutions of the inequality x < 3 are : To identify solutions: Are the following solutions to the inequalities? 1. 2. 2 – 5x > 13 3. A A A B B B C C Write an inequality given a graph. 4. 5. 6. Any number that makes the inequality true All numbers that are less than 3 PLUG IN the values to see if they make the inequality true
