Graphing Linear Inequalities with Desmos

Dr. Marissa May explains how to use the Desmos graphing calculator, specifically the Texas version, to graph the inequality y ≤ 2x + 3. She highlights the importance of using this version for Texas students due to standardized tests. The video covers how to input the inequality, handle errors, decide between solid and dashed lines, and correctly shade the graph. The tutorial emphasizes practical steps and tips for effectively using Desmos for graphing inequalities.

Why is a solid line used in the graph for the equation 'y <= 2x + 3'?

• Because it represents an inequality

• Because it includes the equal to condition

• Because it is easier to see

• Because it is a standard in graphing
