Study Notes
Graphing Inequalities
- Inequalities use symbols such as < (less than) and > (greater than).
- Lines can be solid or dashed when graphing inequalities.
- Dashed lines indicate inequalities that do not include "equal to".
- The area above or below the inequality line is shaded.
Steps to Graphing
- Create a table with x and y values, treating the inequality as an equation.
- Only two points are needed to define a line on the graph.
- Select x values and solve for the corresponding y values in the inequality.
- Determine whether to shade above or below the line by testing points.
- Shade upwards on the graph if the y value is "greater than".
- Shade downwards on the graph if the y value is "less than".
- Verify the correct area is shaded by picking points on either side of the line and substituting them into the inequality.
