1. 6-5 Linear Inequalities

2. Objective
Students will be able to graph linear inequalities.

3. Linear Inequalities
A linear inequality is formed when the equal sign is replaced with an inequality symbol in an equation. A solution of an inequality is two variables that make the inequality true. Inequality symbols: < : less than ≤ : less than or equal to > : greater than ≥ : greater than or equal to

4. Linear Inequalities Put into slope intercept form.
If you have to multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality symbol.

5. Examples
Together On Your Own 1) 12x + 6y > 24 2) 18x – 9y ≤ 27 a) 16x – 4y < 20 b) 8x + 2y ≤ 14

6. Graphing Inequalities
If the inequality has a < or > symbol, the line will be dotted ( ) If the inequality has a ≤ or ≥ symbol, the line will be solid ( _____ ) If the inequality has a < or ≤ symbol, shade below the line. If the inequality has a > or ≥ symbol, shade above the line.
