Graphing linear inequalities

Front

What does a dashed line represent in graphing linear inequalities?

Back

A dashed line indicates that points on the line are not included in the solution set.

Front

What does a solid line represent in graphing linear inequalities?

Back

A solid line indicates that points on the line are included in the solution set.

Front

If the inequality is y < 2x + 3, how is the line represented?

Back

The line would be dashed with shading below.

Front

Back

You shade above the line.

Front

What is the solution to a linear inequality?

Back

A point is a solution if it lies in the shaded region.

Front

Back

It indicates that the value on the left is less than the value on the right.

Front

Back

It indicates that the value on the left is less than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

How do you determine where to shade when graphing an inequality?

Back

You test a point not on the line; if it satisfies the inequality, shade that side.

Front

What is the first step in graphing a linear inequality?

Back

Graph the corresponding linear equation as if it were an equality.

Back

Shade above the line.
