You can put this solution on YOUR website!

When you graph an equation or function, you will end up with a line, whether it is curved or straight.

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you graph an inequality, you will end up with a shaded region depicting an entire area of possible solutions.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example, it is easy to graph the equation y=x
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is just a straight line crossing through the origin, where each y value on the line is the same as the x value.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if you graph the inequality y>x
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you will end up with an entire shaded region above the line y=x
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where every y value is greater than any x value.
