Graphing Linear Inequalities Concepts

This video tutorial explains how to graph linear inequalities in two variables. It covers the steps to convert inequalities into equations, determine the type of line to draw (dashed or solid), and use test points to identify the solution region. Three examples are provided: graphing y < 5 - 3x, 3x - 2y ≥ 6, and y ≥ 2x, illustrating the process of plotting lines and shading solution areas.

What is the first step in graphing a linear inequality?

• Shade the region

• Select a test point

• Convert the inequality to an equation

• Determine the type of line

In Example 3, why can't the origin be used as a test point?

• It is on the line

• It is too far from the line

• It is outside the graph

• It is not a valid point
