1

Explain the process of graphing a linear inequality using the intercept method. What are the steps involved?

2

Given the inequality 2x + 3y < 6, find the x-intercept and y-intercept, and plot these points on a graph.

Exit ticket

Quick comprehension check

Graph the system of inequalities y < 2x + 3 and y ≥ -x + 1 on a coordinate plane. Clearly indicate the boundary lines and shade the correct region that represents the solution set. Graph the system of inequalities 3x + 4y ≤ 12 and y > ½x - 2 on a coordinate plane. Clearly indicate the boundary lines and shade the correct region that represents the solution set.
