linear inequality
DESCRIPTION
Linear Inequality. A linear inequality is any inequality of the form ax + by ≠ c , where the ≠ can be replaced by >, 6. Example 2. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
A linear inequality is any inequality of the form ax + by ≠ c, where the ≠ can be replaced by >, <, ≥, or ≤.

Example 1Graph the solutions to y ≥ −2x + 3. y
x
Check the points (0, 0) and (3, −2) to see if they are solutions to the inequality 2x − 3y > 6.2(0) − 3(0) > 6
0 − 0 > 62(3) − 3(−2) > 6
6 + 6 > 612 > 6

Example 3
Graph y = 4x + 2. Shade with vertical lines the region y > 4x + 2, and shade with horizontal lines the region y < 4x +2.

Find the solution to y < x + 5 and y > −x + 3. The region below the dashed line through (0, 5) and (−5, 0)
and above the dashed line through (0, 3) and (3, 0)
Example
Graph both of the inequalities in each problem on the same set of axes. Shade the area where the regions overlap darker than the regions where only one of the inequalities is true.
