What is a linear inequality?

Back

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

What happens to the inequality sign when you divide or multiply by a negative number?

Back

The inequality sign flips when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number.

What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

Back

Strict inequalities (>, <) do not include the boundary point, while non-strict inequalities (≥, ≤) include the boundary point.

How do you check if a point is in the solution set of an inequality?

Back

Substitute the point's coordinates into the inequality. If the inequality holds true, the point is in the solution set.
