What is a system of inequalities?

Back

A system of inequalities is a set of two or more inequalities with the same variables. The solution is the region where the graphs of the inequalities overlap.

How do you determine if a point is a solution to a system of inequalities?

Back

To determine if a point is a solution, substitute the point's coordinates into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution.

What does a dotted line represent in a graph of an inequality?

Back

A dotted line indicates that the points on the line are not included in the solution set, which is the case for inequalities using < or >.

What does a solid line represent in a graph of an inequality?

Back

A solid line indicates that the points on the line are included in the solution set, which is the case for inequalities using ≤ or ≥.

How can you tell which side of the line to shade in a graph of an inequality?

Back

To determine which side to shade, pick a test point not on the line (often (0,0) is used) and substitute it into the inequality. If the inequality holds true, shade that side.
