Practice
7 questions
What is the boundary line for the inequality y > x - 8? Describe how you would graph this line on a coordinate plane, including the coordinates of the y-intercept.
Given the inequality y ≤ 5 - x, explain how you would determine whether to use a solid or dotted line when graphing. What does each type of line represent?

Quick comprehension check
“Graph the inequality y < 2x + 3 on a coordinate plane. Identify the boundary line, explain whether it is solid or dotted, and describe the region you would shade. Include a coordinate point you tested to confirm your shading. Graph the inequality y ≥ -x + 4 on a coordinate plane. Identify the boundary line, explain whether it is solid or dotted, and describe the region you would shade. Include a coordinate point you tested to confirm your shading.”
