Graphing Linear Inequalities

This is a graph of a linear inequality:

linear inequality y <= x +2

The inequality y ≤ x + 2

You can see the y = x + 2 line, and the shaded area is where y is less than or equal to x + 2

Linear Inequality

A Linear Inequality is like a Linear Equation (such as y = 2x+1) ...

... but it will have an Inequality like <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of an =.

How to Graph a Linear Inequality

First, graph the "equals" line, then shade in the correct area.

There are three steps:

Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.

Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)

Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥)

or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).

Let us try some examples:

Example: y≤2x-1

1. The inequality already has "y" on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange

2. Plot y=2x-1 (as a solid line because y≤ includes equal to)

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
