1. How do we graph linear equations?
Graphing Linear Equations:
First, make sure you solve for slope-intercept form
(if necessary), y = mx + b
Plot your y – intercept (b), then plot three more points using the slope
If you have an equation y = ??? (no x contained in the equation), this is a special line. It is horizontal and has ZERO slope.
If you have an equation x = ??? (no y contained in the equation), this is a special line. It is vertical and has
NO slope

2. How do we graph linear equations?
a)4x – 2y = 6
b) x = 1
c) 3y = -2x + 6
d) Y = 6

3. Part 2: How do we graph linear inequalities?
First, make sure you solve for slope-intercept form
(if necessary).
*Remember that the inequality sign changes direction if you multiply or divide by a negative number!*
Follow same steps for graphing the line as above.
Before you “connect the dots” make sure you determine the following:
If the inequality is > or <, the line is DOTTED
If the inequality is ≥ or ≤, the line is SOLID
If the inequality is < or ≤, the line is shaded BELOW
If the inequality is > or ≥, the line is shaded ABOVE

4. Part 2: How do we graph linear inequalities?
a) 3x < 4 – 2y
b) y ≥ -1
c) 5x + 10y > 20
d) X < 5

5. Summary: Answer in complete sentences.
What does a solid line in the graph of an inequality mean?
What does a dash line in the graph of an inequality mean?
Graph and compare the difference in graphing
3x – 2y > 6 and 3x – 2y = 6.
