2. Key Concepts A system of inequalities is two or more inequalities in the same variables that work together. The solution to a system of linear inequalities is the set of all points that make all the inequalities in the system true. The solution region is the intersection of the half planes of the inequalities where they overlap (the darker shaded region). 2 2.3.2: Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities

3. 3 Steps to Graphing a System of Linear Inequalities 1.Graph the first inequality as a linear equation. - Use a solid line for inclusive (≤ or ≥) - Use a dashed line for non-inclusive ( ) 2. Shade the half plane above the y-intercept for (> and ≥). Shade the half plane below the y-intercept for (< and ≤). 3.Follow steps 1 and 2 for the second inequality. 4.The overlap of the two shaded regions represents the solutions to the system of inequalities. 5.Check your answer by picking a test point from the solutions region. If you get a true statement for both inequalities then your answer is correct. 2.3.2: Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities
