The region of a coordinate plane described by a linear inequality consists of all the points that satisfy the inequality, which can be either above or below the boundary line defined by the corresponding linear equation. The boundary line itself is typically dashed if the inequality is strict (e.g., > or <) and solid if it is inclusive (e.g., ≥ or ≤). This region can be unbounded and may extend infinitely in one or more directions, depending on the specific inequality. The solution set includes all points (x, y) that make the inequality true.
A linear inequality is a mathematical statement that relates a linear expression to a value using inequality symbols such as <, >, ≤, or ≥. It represents a range of values for which the linear expression holds true, often depicted graphically as a shaded region on one side of a line in a coordinate plane. Unlike linear equations, which have exact solutions, linear inequalities define a set of possible solutions. For example, the inequality (2x + 3 < 7) indicates that any value of (x) that satisfies this condition is part of the solution set.
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.
Choose any point and substitute its coordinate into the inequality. If the inequality remains TRUE then the region containing the inequality is the one that you want. If it is false, then you want the region on the other side of the line. You can choose any point in the plane and substitute its coordinates into the inequality. The origin is usually the simplest.
The conditions define a region in the plane.
The equation ( y = -x + 4 ) represents a linear boundary line in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. The inequality ( y < -x + 4 ) indicates that we are interested in the region below this line. The line itself is not included in the solution set, as indicated by the strict inequality, which distinguishes the boundary from the solutions. Thus, the boundary line serves as a critical demarcation for the area that satisfies the inequality.

The shaded region above or below the line in the graph of a linear inequality is called the solution region. This region represents all the possible values that satisfy the inequality. Points within the shaded region are solutions to the inequality, while points outside the shaded region are not solutions.

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
Each linear equation is a line that divides the coordinate plane into three regions: one "above" the line, one "below" and the line itself. For a linear inequality, the corresponding equality divides the plane into two, with the line itself belonging to one or the other region depending on the nature of the inequality. A system of linear inequalities may define a polygonal region (a simplex) that satisfies ALL the inequalities. This area, if it exists, is called the feasible region and comprises all possible solutions of the linear inequalities. In linear programming, there will be an objective function which will restrict the feasible region to a vertex or an edge of simplex. There may also be a further constraint - integer programming - where the solution must comprise integers. In this case, the feasible region will comprise all the integer grid-ponits with the simplex.
Choose any point and substitute its coordinate into the inequality. If the inequality remains TRUE then the region containing the inequality is the one that you want. If it is false, then you want the region on the other side of the line. You can choose any point in the plane and substitute its coordinates into the inequality. The origin is usually the simplest.
A linear equation corresponds to a line, and a linear inequality corresponds to a region bounded by a line. Consider the equation y = x-5. This could be graphed as a line going through (0,-5), (1,-4), (2,-3), and so on. The inequality y > x-5 would be the region above that line.
it is called a half plane :)

The equation ( y = -x + 4 ) represents a linear boundary line in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. The inequality ( y < -x + 4 ) indicates that we are interested in the region below this line. The line itself is not included in the solution set, as indicated by the strict inequality, which distinguishes the boundary from the solutions. Thus, the boundary line serves as a critical demarcation for the area that satisfies the inequality.
To determine the solution region for a system of inequalities, first graph each inequality on the same coordinate plane. For linear inequalities, use a dashed line for "less than" or "greater than" and a solid line for "less than or equal to" or "greater than or equal to." Shade the region that satisfies each inequality; the solution region is where all shaded areas overlap. This overlapping area represents all the points that satisfy all inequalities in the system.
The graph of an inequality in the coordinate plane represents a region that satisfies the inequality. For example, the inequality (y < 2x + 3) would be graphed by first drawing the line (y = 2x + 3) as a dashed line (indicating that points on the line are not included), and then shading the area below the line, which contains all the points that satisfy the inequality. The boundary line can be solid if the inequality is "less than or equal to" or "greater than or equal to."
