1. Graph linear inequalities with one variable EXAMPLE 2 Graph ( a ) y < –3 and ( b ) x < 2 in a coordinate plane. Test the point (0,0). Because (0,0) is not a solution of the inequality, shade the half- plane that does not contain (0,0). a. Graph the boundary line y = –3. Use a solid line because the inequality symbol is <.

2. Graph linear inequalities with one variable EXAMPLE 2 b. Graph the boundary line x = 2.Use a dashed line because the inequality symbol is <. Test the point (0,0). Because (0,0) is a solution of the inequality, shade the half- plane that does not contains (0,0).

3. Graph linear inequalities with two variables EXAMPLE 3 Graph (a) y > –2x and (b) 5x – 2y ≤ –4 in a coordinate plane. a. Graph the boundary line y = –2x. Use a dashed line because the inequality symbol is >. Test the point (1,1). Because (1,1) is a solution of the inequality, shade the half- plane that contains (1,1).

4. Graph linear inequalities with two variables EXAMPLE 3 Test the point (0,0). Because (0,0) is not a solution of the inequality, shade the half-plane that does not contain (0,0). b. Graph the boundary line 5x –2y = –4.Use a solid line because the inequality symbol is <.
