Learning Objective

I can graph linear inequalities on a coordinate plane.

  • 1

    When graphing inequalities, the equation is in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

  • 2

    When graphing inequalities, use a solid line if the inequality includes "or equal to," and use a dashed line if it does not.

  • 3

    When graphing y > mx + b, shade above the line, and when graphing y < mx + b, shade below the line.
