How to graph an inequality on a coordinate plane?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how to represent an inequality visually on a coordinate plane. This usually involves shading a region on the graph that satisfies the inequality while also including a boundary line or curve that represents where the inequality becomes equal.
Answer
Shade the region based on the test point results.
The final answer is a shaded region on one side of the boundary line, which represents the solution set for the inequality.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is a shaded region on one side of the boundary line, which represents the solution set for the inequality.
More Information
Graphing inequalities visually represents all the solutions that satisfy the inequality on the coordinate plane.
Tips
A common mistake is forgetting to switch the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
