Lesson 5-6 Intro - Features of Linear Inequality Graphs

Front

What does a solid line represent in a linear inequality graph?

Back

A solid line indicates that the points on the line are included in the solution set, meaning the inequality is either 'greater than or equal to' (≥) or 'less than or equal to' (≤).

Front

What does a dashed line represent in a linear inequality graph?

Back

A dashed line indicates that the points on the line are not included in the solution set, meaning the inequality is either 'greater than' (>) or 'less than' (<).

What is the general form of a linear inequality?

Back

Front

How do you determine the region to shade in a linear inequality graph?

Back

You determine the region to shade based on the inequality sign: '>' or '≥' for above the line, '<' or '≤' for below the line.

Front

What is the significance of the slope (m) in a linear inequality?

Back

The slope (m) indicates the steepness and direction of the line; a positive slope rises from left to right, while a negative slope falls.

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear inequality?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.
