When the line goes through the origin like y>3x. Notice that there is no constant added to the end.
With the equal sign (=).
Hi
Linear programming is just graphing a bunch of linear inequalities. Remember that when you graph inequalities, you need to shade the "good" region - pick a point that is not on the line, put it in the inequality, and the it the point makes the inequality true (like 0
I think that you are asking about the linear inequalities with two variables, so my answer is related to them. First, you have to draw the boundary line (be careful, if your inequality does not contain the equal sign, the boundary line will be a dashed line, because the points on the line are not solutions to the inequality), which divide the coordinate system in two half-planes. Second, you have to test a point on either sides of the line (the best point is the origin, (0, 0), if it is not on the boundary line). If that point satisfies the inequality, then there are all its solutions, otherwise they are to the opposite side.
By finding something who's behavior is represented by a linear function and graphing it.
If it is <= or >=
It means that the inequality is less than the value of the dashed line and is not equal to it.
The dashed boundary inducartes that the points on the boundary are not includedin the region which it bounds.This would be the case when the inequality says that one side is (more or less) than ...but not equal to ... the other side.
In an inequality, you have to shade a side of a line to see show if the possible answers are greater than or equal to it

The first is 2-dimensional, the second is 1-dimensional.
With the equal sign (=).
Because the question is tautological. You are asking how something is the same as that very samne thing!
Hi
Whereas the procedure for a linear equality is the same, the inequality defines all of the plane on one side (or the other) of the corresponding line.
If the points that are ON the line satisfy the inequality then the line should be solid. Otherwise it should be dotted. Another way of putting that is, if the inequality is given in terms of ≤ or ≥, then use a solid line. If they are < or > use a dotted line.
you use a solid line when the inequality is less than or equal to or greater that or equal to the dotted line is for less than or greater than
