Practice Graphing Linear Inequalities

Front

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 < represent in graphing?

Back

The symbol < indicates that the line is dashed, meaning that points on the line are not included in the solution set.

Front

What does the symbol > represent in graphing?

Back

The symbol > indicates that the line is dashed, meaning that points on the line are not included in the solution set.

Front

What does the symbol ≤ represent in graphing?

Back

The symbol ≤ indicates that the line is solid, meaning that points on the line are included in the solution set.

Front

What does the symbol ≥ represent in graphing?

Back

The symbol ≥ indicates that the line is solid, meaning that points on the line are included in the solution set.

Back

The graph is a dashed line representing the boundary, with the area below the line shaded.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is shaded above the line?

Back

It means that the solutions to the inequality are all the points above the line.
