What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that compares a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols (>, <, ≥, ≤).

Front

What does the solution set of a linear inequality represent?

Back

The solution set of a linear inequality represents all the points (x, y) that satisfy the inequality.

How do you graph a linear inequality?

Back

To graph a linear inequality, first graph the corresponding linear equation as a boundary line, then shade the region that satisfies the inequality.

What is the difference between a solid line and a dashed line in graphing inequalities?

Back

A solid line indicates that points on the line are included in the solution (≥ or ≤), while a dashed line indicates that points on the line are not included (> or <).

How do you determine if a point is a solution to a linear inequality?

Back

Substitute the coordinates of the point into the inequality. If the inequality holds true, the point is a solution.

Front

What does it mean to 'flip the inequality sign'?

Back

Flipping the inequality sign occurs when multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number.

What is the graphical representation of the inequality y < 2x + 3?

Back

The graph will have a dashed line for y = 2x + 3, and the area below the line will be shaded.

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear inequality?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, and it helps in graphing the inequality.

Front

How can you check if a point lies in the solution set of an inequality?

Back

Substitute the point's coordinates into the inequality. If the result is true, the point lies in the solution set.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear inequality?

Back

The standard form of a linear inequality is Ax + By < C, Ax + By > C, Ax + By ≤ C, or Ax + By ≥ C, where A, B, and C are constants.
