Algebra 1a: Chapter 9, Lesson 6, page 421.
Graphing Systems of Linear Inequalities
We continue Chapter 9-5 techniques and solve 2 inequalities.
For the first equation, we can use any technique we learned from Chapter 7. Usually, the slope-intercept or `x` and `y` intercepts can be used to quickly define the line. Check a simple point like (0, 0) to see if that part of the ½ plane is true. If so, then shade that area.
Do the same for the other inequality and shade the appropriate ½ plane. The IMPORTANT PART is WHERE THE 2 INEQUALITIES OVERLAP THEIR SHADING, IS THE SOLUTION TO BOTH INEQUALITIES.
Remember, boundary lines of the form `<` or `>` are DASHED. The line is NOT part of the solution. Lines of the form `≤` or`≥` are solid because their line ARE part of the solution.
Again, the textbook is pretty good here but here are some more examples from purplemath.com too!
