Inequality #1


Jump to Top of the Page


Start with the 1st inequality.


Subtract from both sides.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Simplify.


So in order to plot or (which is the same thing), we need to plot the equation first.

Graph of


Now plug in a test point (0,0) into the inequality


Start with the given inequality.


Plug in and


Evaluate and simplify.


Since the inequality is true, this means that we shade the entire region that contains the point (0,0)


In other words, we simply shade the entire region that is below the line.

Start with the 2nd inequality.


Subtract from both sides.


Divide both sides by to isolate . This will flip the inequality sign.


Simplify.

Now draw all of the inequalities on the same coordinate system.
Graph of the 2 inequalities and their shaded regions.




The solution region will be the intersecting region of the inequalities.
