Solving and Graphing Inequalities

Chapter 6 focuses on solving and graphing inequalities, explaining the symbols used for inequalities such as <, ≤, >, and ≥. It covers how to identify numbers that satisfy these inequalities on a number line and provides guidelines for graphing linear inequalities in two variables, including the use of solid and dashed lines. The chapter also includes steps for graphing specific inequalities and offers hints for shading regions based on the inequality signs.

CHAPTER 6 REVIEW

Solving and
Graphing
Inequalities
An inequality is like an equation,
but instead of an equal sign (=) it
has one of these signs:
< : less than
≤ : less than or equal to
> : greater than
≥ : greater than or equal to
“x < 5”
means that whatever value x
has, it must be less than 5.
Try to name ten numbers that
are less than 5!
Numbers less than 5 are to the left
of 5 on the number line.

-25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25

• If you said 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, etc., you are right.


• There are also numbers in between the integers, like
2.5, 1/2, -7.9, etc.
• The number 5 would not be a correct answer,
though, because 5 is not less than 5.
“x ≥ -2”
means that whatever value x
has, it must be greater than or
equal to -2.
Try to name ten numbers that
are greater than or equal to -2!
Numbers greater than -2 are to the
right of 5 on the number line.

-25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25


-2
• If you said -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., you are right.
• There are also numbers in between the integers,
like -1/2, 0.2, 3.1, 5.5, etc.
• The number -2 would also be a correct answer,
because of the phrase, “or equal to”.
Where is -1.5 on the number line?
Is it greater or less than -2?

-25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20 25


-2

• -1.5 is between -1 and -2.


• -1 is to the right of -2.
• So -1.5 is also to the right of -2.

Graphing Linear
Inequalities in Two
Variables
•SWBAT graph a linear
inequality in two variables
•SWBAT Model a real life
situation with a linear
inequality.
Some Helpful Hints
•If the sign is > or < the line is
dashed
•If the sign is  or  the line will
be solid
When dealing with just x and y.
•If the sign > or  the shading
either goes up or to the right
•If the sign is < or  the shading
either goes down or to the left
Solving Inequalities Graphically
• If the line is a boundary for values that are
included, the line must be drawn with a
solid line

• If the line is a boundary for values that are


not included, the line must be drawn with a
dashed line
When dealing with slanted lines
•If it is > or  then you shade above

•If it is < or  then you shade below


the line
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.
Graphing a Linear Inequality
Sketch a graph of y  3
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
