Algebra.Com's Answer #634463 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Graphing one linear equation, or one inequality can be tough. \n" ); document.write( "You start by deciding on the scale to be used for the x-axis and the y-axis. \n" ); document.write( "You may start with -10 to 10 on both axes, and see how it looks. \n" ); document.write( "If it does not look good, you may have to re-do the graph. \n" ); document.write( "When you have two inequalities, it can be torture, \n" ); document.write( "because the scale that makes each graph look good for one inequality \n" ); document.write( "may not look good for the two of them together. \n" ); document.write( "Thinking and planning ahead may save time and pain, \n" ); document.write( "and may allow to skip up to the solution of the system of inequalities, \n" ); document.write( "without having to graph each inequality separately first. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The graph for any linear inequality has one solid or dashed boundary line, \n" ); document.write( "and the region of the x-y plane to one side of that line, colored or shaded. \n" ); document.write( "(The boundary line is dashed when the inequality sign is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "A system of linear inequalities can have boundary lines that intersect.
