Question 330999: if you are graphing what is the difference between graphing and equation and graphing an inequality?
Answer by neatmath(302)   (Show Source):
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.
When you graph an inequality, you will end up with a shaded region depicting an entire area of possible solutions.
For example, it is easy to graph the equation y=x
It is just a straight line crossing through the origin, where each y value on the line is the same as the x value.
However, if you graph the inequality y>x
you will end up with an entire shaded region above the line y=x
where every y value is greater than any x value.
I hope this helps!
