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 region where the graphs of the inequalities overlap.

How do you graph a linear inequality?

Back

1. Rewrite the inequality in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). 2. Graph the boundary line (dashed for < or >, solid for ≤ or ≥). 3. Shade the region that satisfies the inequality.

What does the shaded region represent in a graph of inequalities?

Back

The shaded region represents all the possible solutions to the system of inequalities.

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

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

Back

Substitute the coordinates of the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution.

What does the term 'solution set' mean in the context of inequalities?

Back

The solution set is the collection of all points that satisfy all inequalities in the system.

What is the significance of the darkest shaded region in a graph of inequalities?

Back

The darkest shaded region represents the solution set where all inequalities in the system are satisfied.

How do you identify the solution set from a graph of inequalities?

Back

Look for the region where the shaded areas of all inequalities overlap; this overlapping region is the solution set.
