Graph Solutions To Linear Inequalities In Two Variables
Overview
A linear inequality in two variables does not have a single solution: it has a whole region of points that satisfy it. Shading that region turns the inequality into a picture, which is exactly how solutions are shown and combined.
In this lesson you will graph the solution to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (region), and decide whether the boundary line is included.
Objectives
- Graph the solution to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (region), distinguishing whether the boundary is included.

- The solution of a linear inequality in two variables is: A. one point B. a line C. a half-plane (region) D. a curve Answer: C
- For a strict inequality (>), the boundary line is drawn: A. solid B. dashed C. doubled D. not at all Answer: B
- For y <= x + 1, the boundary line is drawn: A. dashed B. solid C. wavy D. red Answer: B
- To decide which side to shade you use a: A. ruler B. test point C. protractor D. tangent Answer: B
- Testing (0, 0) in y > x + 1 gives 0 > 1, which is false, so you shade: A. the side containing the origin B. the side not containing the origin C. both sides D. neither side Answer: B
