Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line

Multiple Choice

What inequality does the number line graph represent

• x ≤ 4
• x ≥ -4
• x < -4
• x < 4

Multiple Choice

Match the graph with its inequality.

• a > 11

• a < 11

• a ≥ 11

• a ≤ 11

Multiple Choice

What inequality does the number line graph represent?

• x > 5
• x < −5
• x ≥ 5
• x ≥ −5

Graphing Linear Inequalities

• y > 2x - 3 is to the right.

• The inequality symbol affects if we shade above or below the line. All of the shaded area are solutions!

• The symbol also affects if the line is dashed or solid. Dashed lines are not included in the solutions, but solid lines are included.

Graphing Inequalities in Slope-Intercept Form

• The graph of  $y<\frac{2}{3}x-4$  is shown to the right.

• Less than (<) means dashed line, shaded below.

• Use the slope (2/3) and y-intercept (-4) to see how the inequality matches the graph.

Multiple Choice

Which graph best represents the following inequality?

Inequalities and Desmos!

Just like with regular lines, you can graph linear inequalities in Desmos. The symbols are in the keyboard! (See image on next slide)

This is helpful for any inequality, even those that are not in slope-intercept.
