Graphing systems of Inequalities

Front

What is a system of inequalities?

Back

A system of inequalities is a set of two or more inequalities with the same variables. The solution is the set of all ordered pairs that satisfy all inequalities in the system.

How do you graph a system of inequalities?

Back

To graph a system of inequalities, first graph each inequality as if it were an equation. Use a dashed line for < or > and a solid line for ≤ or ≥. Then, shade the appropriate region for each inequality, and the solution is where the shaded regions overlap.

What does it mean if a point is a solution to a system of inequalities?

Back

A point is a solution to a system of inequalities if it satisfies all inequalities in the system, meaning it lies in the overlapping shaded region of the graph.

What is the difference between a solid line and a dashed line in graphing inequalities?

Back

A solid line indicates that the points on the line are included in the solution (≤ or ≥), while a dashed line indicates that the points on the line are not included ( < or >).

How can you determine if a point is a solution to a system of inequalities?

Back

To determine if a point is a solution, substitute the x and y values of the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution.

What does the inequality x > -3 represent on a graph?

Back

The inequality x > -3 represents all points to the right of the vertical line x = -3, not including the line itself.

What is the solution set of the inequalities -4y < 8 and 6x + 3 > 1?

Back

The solution set includes all ordered pairs (x, y) that satisfy both inequalities, such as (2, 3).

Front

Which of the following points is NOT a solution to the system of inequalities: (0, -1), (0, 3), (4, 0), (6, -2)?

Back

(0, -1) is NOT a solution to the system of inequalities.

Front

What is the graphical representation of the inequality y < 2x + 1?

Back

The graphical representation is a dashed line for the equation y = 2x + 1, with the area below the line shaded.

How do you write an inequality from a graph?

Back

To write an inequality from a graph, identify the boundary line and the direction of shading. Use the appropriate inequality symbol based on whether the line is solid or dashed.
