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

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

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?

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!!

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 x + 2. And, the yellow could be represented by y x + 2.

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 + 2. And, the yellow could be represented by y < x + 2.

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

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. 4. 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

GRAPHING INEQUALITIES INEQUALITY SYMBOL TYPE OF LINE (dashed or solid) WHERE TO SHADE < > ≤ ≥ dashed below dashed above solid below solid above (above or below line)

GRAPHING INEQUALITIES SOLID LINE DASHED LINE SHADE UP SHADE BELOW ≥ ≤ > <

When dealing with slanted lines • If it is > or then you shade above • If it is < or then you shade below the line

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

Graph y -3 x + 2 on the coordinate plane. y Instead of testing a point If in y = mx + b form. . . Shade up Shade down Solid line Dashed line x > <

Surfing with Inequalities • 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 y ≥ 2 x

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

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

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

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.
