Inequalities Key Words and Graphs

How can I tell if an inequality will have a solid line?

• It has an equal sign.
• The symbol is greater than.
• The symbol has "or equal to."
• You just guess.

Consider the function y<2x+3. Which is true?

• The line would be solid with shading above.
• The line would be dashed with shading above.
• The line would be solid with shading below.
• None of these.

Do I need to flip my sign?
2x -3y  ≥ 12

• Yes
• No

Identify the y-intercept for the function:
y=-3x

• -3
• 0
• 1
• -1
