What is a system of linear inequalities?

Back

A system of linear inequalities is a set of two or more linear inequalities that involve the same variables. The solution is the set of all points that satisfy all inequalities in the system.

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 coordinates of the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution.

What does it mean for a point to be part of the solution set?

Back

A point is part of the solution set if it satisfies all the inequalities in the system, meaning it lies in the region defined by the inequalities.

What is the graphical representation of a linear inequality?

Back

The graphical representation of a linear inequality is a half-plane divided by a line. The line represents the boundary, and the shaded area indicates the solutions.

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 graph a system of linear inequalities?

Back

1. Graph each inequality as if it were an equation. 2. Use a solid or dashed line as appropriate. 3. Shade the appropriate half-plane for each inequality. 4. The solution set is where the shaded regions overlap.

What is the solution set of a system of linear inequalities?

Back

The solution set is the region on the graph where the shaded areas of all inequalities overlap, representing all possible solutions.

What does it mean for a point to NOT be part of the solution set?

Back

A point is not part of the solution set if it does not satisfy at least one of the inequalities in the system, meaning it lies outside the shaded region.

How can you check if a point is a solution to a specific inequality?

Back

Substitute the x and y values of the point into the inequality. If the resulting statement is true, the point is a solution.

What is an example of a linear inequality?

Back

An example of a linear inequality is y < 2x + 3.
