<h1 class="center">Graphing Linear Inequalities</h1>
<p>This is a graph of a linear <a href="inequality.html">inequality</a>:</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-x-2.svg" alt="linear inequality y <= x +2" /><br />
<span class="larger">The inequality y &le; x + 2</span></p>
<p>You can see the <span class="larger">y = x + 2</span> line, and the shaded area is where y is less than or equal to <span class="larger"> x + 2</span></p>
<div class="def">
<h3>Linear Inequality</h3>
<p>A Linear Inequality is like a <a href="linear-equations.html">Linear Equation</a> (such as <b>y = 2x+1</b>) ...</p>
<p class="center"> ... but it will have an <a href="inequality-solving.html">Inequality</a> like <b>&lt;, &gt;, &le;, or &ge;</b> instead of an <b>=</b>.</p>
</div>
<h2>How to Graph a Linear Inequality</h2>
<p>First, graph the &quot;equals&quot; line, then shade in the correct area.</p>
<p>There are three steps:</p>
<ul class="bigul">
<li>Rearrange the equation so &quot;y&quot; is on the left and everything else on the right.</li>
<li>Plot the &quot;<b>y=</b>&quot; line (make it a solid line for <b>y&le;</b> or <b>y&ge;</b>, and a dashed line for <b>y&lt;</b> or <b>y&gt;</b>)</li>
<li>Shade above the line for a &quot;greater than&quot; (<b>y&gt;</b> or <b>y&ge;</b>) <br />
or below the line for a &quot;less than&quot; (<b>y&lt;</b> or <b>y&le;</b>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Let us try some examples: </p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: y&le;2x-1</h3>
<p>1. The inequality already has &quot;y&quot; on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange</p>
<p>2. Plot <b>y=2x-1</b> (as a solid line because y&le; includes <b>equal to</b>)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-2xm1a.svg" alt="y = 2x -1" /></p>
<p>3. Shade the area below (because y is <b>less than</b> or equal to)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-2xm1b.svg" alt="linear inequality y <= 2x -1 shaded" /></p>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: 2y &minus; x &le; 6</h3>
<p>1. We will need to rearrange this one so &quot;y&quot; is on its own on the left:</p>
<div class="so">Start with: 2y &minus; x &le; 6</div>
<div class="so">Add x to both sides: 2y &le; x + 6</div>
<div class="so">Divide all by 2: y &le; x/2 + 3</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Now plot <b>y = x/2 + 3</b> (as a solid line because y&le; includes <b>equal to</b>)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-x2p3a.svg" alt="y = x/2 + 3" /></p>
<p>3. Shade the area below (because y is <b>less than</b> or equal to)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-x2p3b.svg" alt="linear inequality y <= x/2 + 3 shaded" /></p>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: y/2 + 2 &gt; x</h3>
<p>1. We will need to rearrange this one so &quot;y&quot; is on its own on the left:</p>
<div class="so">Start with: y/2 + 2 &gt; x</div>
<div class="so">Subtract 2 from both sides: y/2 &gt; x &minus; 2</div>
<div class="so">Multiply all by 2: y &gt; 2x &minus; 4</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Now plot <b>y = 2x &minus; 4</b> (as a dashed line because y&gt; does not include equals to)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-2xm4a.svg" alt="y = 2x - 4" /></p>
<p>3. Shade the area above (because y is <b>greater than</b>)</p>
<p class="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-2xm4b.svg" alt="linear inequality y > 2x - 4 " /></p>
</div>
<p>The dashed line shows that the inequality does <b>not</b> include the line <b>y=2x-4</b>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Two Special Cases</h2>
<p>You could also have a horizontal or vertical line:</p>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-ylt4.svg" alt="linear inequality y<4" /></td>
<td align="center"><img src="images/linear-inequality-xgt1.svg" alt="linear inequality x>=1" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">This shows where y is less than 4 <br />
(from, but not including, the line <b>y=4</b> on down)<br />
Notice that we have a dashed line to show that it does not include where y=4</td>
<td align="center">This one doesn't even have y in it!<br />
It has the line <b>x=1</b>, and is shaded for all values of x greater than (or equal to) 1</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;
</p>
