What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that relates a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols (such as <, >, ≤, or ≥) instead of an equal sign.

How do you graph a linear inequality?

Back

To graph a linear inequality, first graph the corresponding linear equation as a boundary line. Then, use a dashed line for < or > and a solid line for ≤ or ≥. Finally, shade the region that satisfies the inequality.

What does the solution set of a system of linear inequalities represent?

Back

The solution set of a system of linear inequalities represents all the points (x, y) that satisfy all inequalities in the system simultaneously.

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

How can you determine if a point is a solution to a linear inequality?

Back

To determine if a point is a solution to a linear inequality, substitute the x and y values of the point into the inequality. If the inequality holds true, then the point is part of the solution set.

What is a system of linear inequalities?

Back

A system of linear inequalities is a set of two or more linear inequalities that are considered together. The solution is the intersection of the solution sets of each inequality.

What does it mean for a point to be 'not part of the solution set'?

Back

A point is 'not part of the solution set' if it does not satisfy at least one of the inequalities in the system.

How do you write a linear equation from a word problem involving costs?

Back

To write a linear equation from a word problem involving costs, identify the variables representing the quantities, set up an equation based on the relationships described in the problem, and include the total cost as a constant.

What is the significance of the coefficients in a linear equation?

Back

The coefficients in a linear equation represent the rate of change or the slope of the line, indicating how much the dependent variable changes for a unit change in the independent variable.

What is the graphical representation of a system of linear inequalities?

Back

The graphical representation of a system of linear inequalities is the shaded region where all the inequalities overlap, showing all possible solutions.
