Question 696717: How do i graph inequalities?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You do not graph the inequality directly.
You graph the boundary of the inequality.
Then you shade the area that satisfies the condition
of the inequality.

Example:
Graph: y <= 2x + 5
---
1st: Graph the boundary y = 2x+5 as a normal line.
graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%2B5%29
---
2nd: Shade the half-plane BELOW the boundary be cause
you wan y to be LESS than the boundary.
graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+y+%3C+2x%2B5%29
