Linear
Inequalities

2. We show the solution to a linear inequality with a graph.
Step 1) Put the inequalities into slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
slope
y-intercept

3. Step 2) Graph the line
If the inequality is < or >, make the lines dotted.
If the inequality is < or >, make the lines solid.

4. Step 3) Shade the correct region of the graph:
Above the line b) Below the line
for y > or y . for y < or y ≤.
**This is because more then 1 ordered pair can be a solution!

5. Examples:
1) y > -5x + 4

6. Examples:
2) x < ) y ≥ -3

7. Examples:
4) 2x – 3y ≤ 6

8. Examples:
5) 3x + 2y < -2

Inequalities

10. We show the solution to a system of linear inequalities with a graph!

11. Steps to Graphing a System of Inequalities:
Put the inequalities into slope-intercept form.
Decide if the lines should be dotted or solid
Shade above for y > or y , shade below for y < or y ≤.
Shade the overlapping section darker to show where the solutions to both inequalities lie.

12. Example #1: a: 3x + 4y > - 4 b: x + 2y < 2 Put in Slope-Intercept Form:

13. Graph each line, make dotted or solid and shade the correct area.
Example, continued:
Graph each line, make dotted or solid and shade the correct area.
a: dotted shade above
b: dotted shade below

15. #2 Graph the system of linear inequalities.
x ³ –1
y > x – 2

16. #3 x > -2 y < 6 -2x + y > -5

17. Let’s graph the next problem using the calculator #4 y ≥ -x + 4 y < 3x - 2

18. #5
x – y > 3 7x – y ≤ -3

19. #6
7x + 2y < -10 -x + 2y ≤ 11
