The dashed boundary inducartes that the points on the boundary are not included

in 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.

What does a dashed boundary line indicate when graphing linear inequalities?

It means that the inequality is less than the value of the dashed line and is not equal to it.


When graphing inequalities where can solutions be found?

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.


How do you determine whether to use a solid or dashed line when graphing linear equation?

A dashed line is used when the equality is equal to and less than/more than. (≤, ≥) A solid line is used when the inequality is just less than/more than. (<, >)


What does a dashed line represent on a graph?

It can represent the graph of a strict inequality where the inequality is satisfied by the area on one side of the dashed line and not on the other. Points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.


How would you know that the boundary line is enclosed in a graph?

The boundary line is solid. If not it will be a dashed line.


If the edge isn't included in the graph of an inequality you should draw what kind of line?

dashed


What is the difference between a dashed line and a solid line when graphing inequalities?

its different because they both repersent something.


What will the line be if the inequality has a line underneath it?

If I understand the question correctly, the inequality is not strict. This means that points on the line are part of the solution and so the line is shown as a solid line rather than a dashed line.If I understand the question correctly, the inequality is not strict.

Which inequalities have solid line and which ones have dashed lines?

Any line divides the Cartesian plane into two parts. When deciding whether the line should be solid or dashed, think of the points on the line. If these points are not in the permitted region then it will be a dashed line, otherwise it will be a solid line. Usually this will mean that a strict inequality is dashed.


What kind of line do you use to graph an inequality?

A dashed/dotted line if it is > or <. Otherwise use a regular line. Also shading is required.


When an inequality is graphed would you shade the line?

The line must be solid if the inequality is strict (less than or greater than). It must be a dashed line if otherwise (less than or equal to, greater than or equal to).


What type of graph is used to represet an inequality?

For example, the solution set of x > 2 is the shaded portion of the number line to the right of 2 and a whole at 2. But in the xy-cordinate system is a shaded region to the right of the dashed vertical line that crosses the x-axis at 2. In the case of having a combination of two statements, an equation and an inequality, x ≥ 2, the whole will be filled in and the boundary line will be a full line.
