What is a linear inequality?

Back

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

How do you represent a linear inequality graphically?

Back

A linear inequality is represented graphically by a shaded region on one side of a boundary line, which is either solid (for ≤ or ≥) or dashed (for < or >).

What does the shaded area in a graph of a linear inequality indicate?

Back

The shaded area indicates all the possible solutions that satisfy the inequality.

What is the difference between a solid line and a dashed line in the graph of a linear inequality?

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 write a linear inequality from a graph?

Back

To write a linear inequality from a graph, identify the slope and y-intercept of the boundary line, determine the direction of the inequality based on the shaded area, and use the appropriate inequality symbol.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How can you determine the slope of a line from a graph?

Back

The slope can be determined by finding the rise over run between two points on the line.

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

Back

The y-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x is zero.

What is the significance of the inequality symbol in a linear inequality?

Back

The inequality symbol indicates the relationship between the two expressions, showing whether one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

How do you convert a linear equation to a linear inequality?

Back

To convert a linear equation to a linear inequality, replace the equality sign with an inequality symbol (>, <, ≥, ≤) based on the context.
