How is graphing a linear inequality different than graphing a linear equation?
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
How many solutions does a linear inequality with two variables have?
Infinite.
The solutions to a linear inequality are the points in the plane that make the inequality true?
Yes, and no. The solution set to an inequality are those points which satisfy the inequality. A linear inequality is one in which no variable has a power greater than 1. Only if there are two variables will the solution be points in a plane; if there are more than two variables then the solution set will be points in a higher space, for example the solution set to the linear inequality x + y + z < 1 is a set of points in three dimensional space.
What is the solution to the linear inequality y-3y-4?
1
How do you solve a two variable inequality?
The simplest way is probably to plot the corresponding equality in the coordinate plane. One side of this graph will be part of the feasible region and the other will not. Points on the line itself will not be in the feasible region if the inequality is strict (< or >) and they will be if the inequality is not strict (≤ or ≥). You may be able to rewrite the inequality to express one of the variables in terms of the other. This may be far from simple if the inequality is non-linear.
