Linear Inequalities Test Pt 1

Front

What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that compares a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the symbol '>' mean in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '>' means 'greater than'. It indicates that the value on the left side of the inequality is larger than the value on the right.

Front

What does the symbol '<' mean in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '<' means 'less than'. It indicates that the value on the left side of the inequality is smaller than the value on the right.

Front

What does the symbol '≥' mean in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '≥' means 'greater than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left side is either larger than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

What does the symbol '≤' mean in a linear inequality?

Back

The symbol '≤' means 'less than or equal to'. It indicates that the value on the left side is either smaller than or equal to the value on the right.

Front

How do you graph a linear inequality with '≤' or '≥'?

Back

You draw a solid line to represent the boundary of the inequality, indicating that points on the line are included in the solution.

Front

How do you graph a linear inequality with '<' or '>'?

Back

You draw a dotted line to represent the boundary of the inequality, indicating that points on the line are not included in the solution.

Front

What is the solution set of a linear inequality?

Back

The solution set of a linear inequality is the set of all points (x, y) that satisfy the inequality, often represented as a shaded region on a graph.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Front

How do you convert a linear equation to a linear inequality?

Back

To convert a linear equation to a linear inequality, replace the '=' sign with an inequality symbol (<, >, ≤, or ≥).
