4. Put the equations into y=mx+b form to graph!
Graphing Review
Graph each line.
a) y = x b) x – 2y = 6

5. Graphing a Linear Inequality
Graphing a linear inequality is very similar to graphing a linear equation.

6. Graphing Inequalities
Where do you think the points that are y > x + 2 are located?
Where do you think the points that are y < x + 2 are located?

7. Graphing Inequalities
The line is the boundary of the two regions. The blue region is the “greater than” (>) area and the yellow region is the “less than” (<) area.
YOU WERE RIGHT!!

8. Graphing Inequalities
When the line that represents y = x + 2 is solid, not dashed, it means that the points on the line are included in the inequality. So we would state that the blue are can be represented by y ³ x + 2. And, the yellow could be represented by y £ x + 2.

9. Graphing Inequalities
When the line that represents y = x + 2 is dashed, it means that the points on the line are not included in the inequality. So we would state that the blue are can be represented by y > x And, the yellow could be represented by y < x + 2.

10. Tell Your Neighbor
What does it mean to be a point in the solution of an inequality?
A point in the shaded area of the solution set that fits the inequality
Name 1 point in the solution set
Name 1 point NOT in the solution set

11. Steps to Graphing Linear Inequalities
1. Change the inequality into slope-intercept form,
y = mx + b. Graph the equation.
2. If > or < then the line should be dashed.
If > or < then the line should be solid.
3. If y > mx+b or y > mx+b, shade above the line.
If y < mx+b or y < mx+b, shade below the line.
To check that the shading is correct, pick a point in the area and plug it into the inequality
If TRUE, you shaded correct
If FALSE, you shaded incorrectly

14. When dealing with slanted lines
If it is > or  then you shade above
If it is < or  then you shade below the line

15. Graph y -3x + 2 on the coordinate plane.
Boundary Line
y = -3x + 2
m = -3
b = 2 x
Test a point not on the line
test (0,0)
(0) + 2
Not true!

17. Surfing with Inequalities
y ≥ 2x
Will the inequality “surf” splash over our surfer?
Step 1: Graph line
Step 2: Dashed or solid line?
Step 3: Shade above or below line?
Step 4: Verify a point

18. Step 1: Put into slope intercept form
Using What We Know
Sketch a graph of x + y < 3
Step 1: Put into slope intercept form
y <-x + 3
Step 2: Graph the line y = -x + 3

19. STEP 1
Example:
STEP 3
STEP 2 6 4 2 5

20. -3x -3x -4y > -3x + 12 -4 -4 Graph on the coordinate plane.
Remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative number..FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN!!
3x - 4y > 12 y
-3x x
-4y > -3x + 12
y < x - 3 x
Boundary Line
m =
b = -3

STEP 3

22. Graphing a Linear Inequality
Sketch a graph of y  3

23. Graphing an Inequality in Two Variables
Graph x < 2
Step 1: Start by graphing the line x = 2
Now what points would give you less than 2?
Since it has to be x < 2 we shade everything to the left of the line.
