Inequality Symbols and Meanings: Learning Objective Today, we will solve systems of linear inequalities by graphing. What are we going to do today? ≤ and ≥ < and > Inequality Symbols and Meanings: Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge A linear inequality compares expressions with an inequality symbol and contains numbers and variables raised to the first power only. y = mx + b Slope-intercept form slope y-intercept Determine the slope and y-intercept of the inequalities. y < x + 2 y ≤ -x + 2 1. 2. Slope (m): 1 Slope(m): -1 y- intercept(b): 2 y- intercept(b): 2 Graph the ordered pair to verify whether it is a solution to the inequality. y < x + 2 3. y ≤ -x + 2 4. (-2,5) (0,0) y < x + 2 y ≤ -x + 2 (5) < (-2) + 2 (0) ≤ -(0) + 2 5 < -2 + 2 False 0 ≤ 0 + 2 5 < 0 True 0 ≤ 2 Students, you already know how to determine the slope and y-intercept of a linear inequality and verify whether an ordered pair is a solution to a linear inequality. Today, we are going to graph linear inequalities using the slope and y-intercept to and verify ordered pairs in order to solve systems of linear inequalities.
