Question

Explain how graphing a linear inequality is similar to graphing a linear equation.
(exam question)

Answer 1

My dawg, it's like the same, almost exactly. But then you do a little bit more work figuring out where to shade and whatnot.

Answer 2

you also, have to consider if the line itself is a solution

Answer 3

Trudat.

Answer 4

If the inequality is less than or greater than, then the line itself is not a solution and is drawn as a broken line. If the inequality is less than or equal to or greater than or equal to, then the line itself is a solution and is drawn solid.

Answer 5

ie if there is an equal sign under your inequality, the line is a solution.
