Linear Inequalities

How to graph the equation of a linear inequality

To understand how to graph the equations of linear inequalities such y ≥ x + 1, make sure that you have a good understanding of how to graph the equation of a line in slope intercept form.

A linear inequality is describes an area of the coordinate plane that has a boundary line. Every point in that region is a solution of the inequality.

  In simpler speak, a linear inequality is simiply everything on ONE side of a line on a graph.
