What is a linear inequality?

Back

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

Front

What does the symbol '≥' indicate in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '≥' indicates that the values of the variable can be equal to or greater than a certain number.

What does the symbol '<' indicate in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '<' indicates that the values of the variable must be less than a certain number.

How do you represent the solution set of a linear inequality graphically?

Back

The solution set of a linear inequality is represented graphically by a shaded region on one side of a boundary line, which is either solid or dashed depending on 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 set (for ≤ or ≥), while a dashed line indicates that points on the line are not included (for < or >).

How do you determine which side of the line to shade when graphing a linear inequality?

Back

To determine which side to shade, you can test a point not on the line (often (0,0)) in the inequality. If the inequality holds true, shade the side containing that point.
