3 Solving Systems of
Inequalities by Graphing
Pg. 123
Standards addressed: 2.1 & 2.2
Steps for Graphing Inequalities:
1. Write the inequality in slope-intercept form.
2. Use the slope and y-intercept to plot two points.
3. Draw in the line. Use a solid line for less than or equal to ()
or greater than or equal to (). Use a dashed line for less than
(<) or greater than (>).
4. Pick a point above the line or below the line. Test that point in
the inequality. If it makes the inequality true, then shade the
region that contains that point. If the point does not make the
inequality true, shade the region on the other side of the line.
5. Systems of inequalities – Follow steps 1-4 for each inequality.
Find the region where the solutions to the two inequalities
would overlap and this is the region that should be shaded.
Look at the two graphs. Determine the following:
A. The equation of each line.
B. How the graphs are similar.
C. How the graphs are different.

Use a dotted or dashed line when the inequality is < or >


Use a solid line when the inequality is ≤ or ≥
Solutions of Lines Vs. Inequalities
• We can test a solution to a line by picking
a point that is on the line and plugging that
point back into the equation.
• We can test a solution to an inequality by
picking a point that is SOMEWHERE in
the shaded region and plugging that point
into the inequality.
Point: (-4, 5)

Pick a point from the shaded


region and test that point in
the inequality y ≥ x + 3.
Point: (1, -3)

Pick a point from the shaded


region and test that point in
the equation y ≤ -x + 4.

vs.
Systems of Inequalities
• A system of equations will have ONE
point, no points, or an infinite amount of
points for an answer. The SOLUTION is
where the two lines intersect.

• A system of inequalities will have MANY


ordered pairs that satisfy the inequalities.
