Why does the inequality sign change when both sides are multiplied or divided by a negative number Does this happen with equations Why or why notWrite an inequality for your classmates to solve I?
-x > a iff** x < -a This is easy to see intuitively by coloring a number line. ** "if and only if"
How do you solve inequality and graph them?
Get the variables on one side of the inequality sign, and the numbers on the other side. You do this by using inverse operations. Divide the number by the variable. If you divide using a negative number you flip the inequality sign. An example of what you are looking at should look like x > 3. You would graph this example by drawing a number line, then putting an open cirlce at three, and shading the number line on the right side of the three. This shows that x is greater than three.

How is graphing a linear inequality on a coordinate plane different from graphing an inequality on a number line?
The first is 2-dimensional, the second is 1-dimensional.
How do you solve an inequality that has two different variables?
If this is school work, the solution is as follows: Treat the inequality as an equality and graph the relevant line (straight or curved). Set both variables equal to 0 and find out whether or not the inequality at (0,0) is true. If the inequality is false, reject (shade out) all of the plane on the side of the line that contains the origin while if it is true, reject the part of the plane beyond the line. The unshaded part is the valid (or feasible) region.
